These muffins, while not picture perfect, are so full of rich chocolate flavor and wonderful texture, that I just had to share them with you. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins are a great way to start the day.
I say this because muffins are for breakfast, right? I saw some diet guru on TV recently and he said whoever came up with the name muffin was just trying to find a way to trick us into eating cake for breakfast. Maybe he’s right. Don’t care. I’m eating these for breakfast. Also, maybe for lunch.
While these are a bit cake-like, they are definitely not as sweet as cake and the texture is more muffin-like than the delicate crumb of a cake. These are a favorite roadtrip snack of mine because they hold together well. They also pack well if you are a lunchbox fan. Enjoy!

Johnna, I love these muffins! Chocolate and more chocolate and practically coming out of the pan are my kind of muffins. 🙂 I also love making vegan muffins using dairy-free yogurt. You should enter these in the So Delicious recipe contest being sponsored by So Delicious and Go Dairy Free. I’d vote for them!

Thanks, Shirley! I took your suggestion and entered this recipe in the contest. I use their cultured coconut milk (I call it CoCoYo) in almost all of my cupcake and muffin recipes. I even used it in my hashbrown casserole recipe that I shared recently. Good stuff!
I’d vote for them too! And for the record, I have absolutely no problem with having cake for breakfast.
Me, either! Cake for breakfast is always good. 🙂
