Chocolate Chunk Cake Mix Muffins
These Chocolate Chunk Cake Mix Muffins are quick, easy, and full of chocolate chunks. This semi-homemade muffin recipe uses convenient pantry ingredients, like a cake mix, to make these deliciously rich cake-like muffins.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate baking chunks (divided)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup half and half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prepare two 12-cup muffin pans by lining with paper liners. Set aside for later.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate cake mix, 2 cups of the chocolate baking chunks, cocoa powder, and baking powder. * Reserve 1/2 cup of the chocolate chunks for later. Only 2 cups of the chunks of into the muffin batter.1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate baking chunks, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Add in the eggs and half and half. Stir until combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure that all the batter is mixed evenly.2 large eggs, 1 cup half and half
- Scoop the muffin batter into each muffin liner, filling each one about 2/3 full with batter.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chunks over the top of the muffins.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without wet batter (melted chocolate is ok), and when lightly pressed the muffin top should bounce back.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes in the warm pan before removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Or eat them warm!
Notes
Chocolate Baking Chunks : You can usually find these in a bag next to the chocolate chips. They are labeled as 'chocolate baking chunks'. If you can't find them, buy some semi-sweet chocolate baking bars and chop them up into chunks.
Chocolate Cake Mix : Use any chocolate cake mix you want. Devil's Food Cake, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Fudge, etc.
