Chocolaty Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Muffins

"I was originally interested in making a chocolate nut bread from Very Best Baking but decided I needed something more chocolaty and with more spices. So I decided to merge that recipe with another muffin recipe I use that calls for cinnamon and nutmeg. I wanted it to look chocolaty too though so I also added cocoa powder. I do want to add that this recipe is not very sweet. It is just right. You can use just all purpose flour if desired. This recipe will make 48 regular sized muffins or 24 Texas sized muffins. You can also freeze some for later."

  1. This recipe was fantastic for someone who wanted to dabble with whole wheat flour, but was nervous about creating chocolatey moon rocks : ) The recipe was spot on, easy to follow, and was exactly what I was looking for. The only changes I made were as follows... I cut the sugar in 1/2 and used 1/4 Stevia in the Raw to supplement. I added a cup of chopped walnuts for extra protein. I added 1/4 cup of skim milk because of adding the walnuts. I cut the oil in 1/2 and used applesauce to supplement the rest. And finally, I cut the oven baking time by 2 minutes (but left the muffins in the tin for an extra 1-2 minutes to finish cooking through. I really wanted a super moist, "oh this must be really bad for me" (wink, wink) kind of treat. Kudos to the author of this recipe! Very easy to follow and taking away my fear of using whole wheat flour. : )
     
  2. These were a hit! Replaced 3 cups chocolate with 1 cup chocolate and 2 cups fresh raspberries. Great, moist texture, rich flavour. Thanks, Jasmine.
     
  3. My kids loved these muffins! These are not sweet, and the chocolate flavor is on the mild side. Definitely a muffin, not a cupcake! Very tender and moist crumb. Excellent warm from the oven. I quartered the recipe, and that yielded a baker's dozen (13)!
     
  4. I quartered this recipe, so I only made 1 dozen. I omitted the spices, and they were delicious. Exactly what I was looking for. Not too sweet but chocolatey. I will definitely make these again.
     
  5. Will certainly make again! Substituted sucanat for the granulated sugar. Next time I'll try with 100% whole wheat flour. Thanks for the recipe!

  2. Delicious muffins! I used whole wheat flour for all the flour in this recipe and subbed the orange extract for the vanilla. I also stirred in almonds and coconut into half of the batter. These were great!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love life and I love Food. I am very interested in healthy cooking. I love whole foods and cook mostly from scratch. I have a grain mill and I use it to mill our own fresh whole wheat. I use mostly all whole wheat but do use half whole wheat and half all purpose flour occasionally. I love making breads, muffins, cupcakes, cakes, flour tortillas and even corn tortillas. I do OAMC once in a while as well.
