Chocolate Muffins with Buttermilk

When I published this recipe, I didn’t even think that it would quickly take the first place in terms of views on my blog. Readers are very fond of these chocolate muffins with buttermilk, because the simple set of products, ease and speed of cooking, taste and texture of chocolate muffins really leave no one indifferent.

The blog already has a basic muffin recipe, which I used to create a recipe for chocolate muffins. But I decided to dedicate a separate page to this particular recipe, because chocolate muffins with buttermilk are worth it.

This recipe is from the “very quick for tea” series, and it is also a basic one, meaning that you can use it to make muffins, pies, and cake layers, add various toppings and fillings (in the middle of muffins, for example, or between cake layers) without fear that chocolate will interrupt their flavor.

The dough is very easy to make, and the ingredients are available in almost every fridge. In general, the simplicity and budget-friendly nature of this recipe allows even children to try themselves in the kitchen without the risk of wasting expensive products.

Chocolate muffins with buttermilk and cocoa are tender with a delicate chocolate flavor, that is, chocoholics may not have enough “chocolate”, but adding chocolate drops to the dough will solve this easily, and you will get double chocolate muffins.

The main condition for obtaining a rich color and chocolate flavor is good quality cocoa powder, for example this one. Please do not skimp on this ingredient, as the final result is highly dependent on it.

What can I use instead of buttermilk?

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute low-fat unsweetened yogurt or sour cream. Alternatively, you can make homemade buttermilk by adding 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar to the milk (the amount of milk is equal to the amount of buttermilk in the recipe).

The specified number of products makes 12 medium-sized muffins.

Ingredients:

buttermilk
odorless vegetable oil
egg (can be replaced with banana)
sugar
all-purpose flour
cocoa powder
baking soda
salt

Mix the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt).

Mix the liquid ingredients (buttermilk, oil, egg or 1/2 banana mashed with a fork).

Combine both mixtures, mix with a mixer, spatula or spoon until smooth.

Put the dough into the molds, filling them ⅔ full.

Bake at 180ºC for about 25 minutes, checking for readiness with a toothpick, it should come out dry.

It’s ready! Enjoy delicious, tender and flavorful muffins!

Enjoy your meal!
