Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (45g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature (or homemade substitute)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85g) milk chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
- 1 cup (approx. 150g) fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for tossing strawberries)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Oven & Prep Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly.
- 2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 3. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 4. Gently Combine: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
- 5. Prepare & Fold in Fruit/Chocolate: In a small bowl, toss the diced fresh strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. Gently fold the floured strawberries and both types of chocolate chips into the batter until just distributed.
- 6. Fill & Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15-18 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- 7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
