More is more is my motto in life, especially when it comes to these Double Chocolate Chip Muffins. They bring me right back to when I was a kid and I’d get a giant Costco muffin every morning for breakfast!
These GIANT Double Chocolate Chip Muffins are everything. Literally grew up eating 1 giant muffin / splitting with my sister / for breakfast every morning. The top is the best part because it’s got that shiny and it’s so soft. We’d heat them up in the microwave for 20 seconds so the chocolate was just slightly melted and OMG it’s literally my childhood in a bite. Let’s be real - it’s essentially cake in a muffin tin, but who cares. Double chocolate all the time.
A few FAQ’s you might need to know:
How do you store these: in an airtight container in the fridge is my method of choice! They will last for about a week in the fridge. Or you can store them in the freezer for months on end but good luck letting them sit around that long. They’ll be long gone within a few weeks!

Made these this morning and they are absolutely delicious! Wonderful chocolate flavor and simple to make if you follow the directions. I forgot to add chocolate chips to the tops before baking but did not miss them at all.
The recipe made more that 12 muffins - I got 16 muffins. Try them you won't regret it.
Amazing! Thanks so much for the recipe! I added stale pralines on top and they reconstituted and added another texture and flavor punch
I made these today but my chocolate mix with water was really liquid - not a paste like gaby’s - did you use less water than 1/2 cup?
These muffins are so yummy!
Made these as mini muffins. Baked for around 18-20 minutes at 375. Perfect little after school treat!
