Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) hot water
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
  • Optional: edible gold dust for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir in milk, followed by the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Slowly add the hot water and stir gently. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups (about 3/4 full).
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let cool and optionally dust with edible gold for that Olympic touch!

Tips for Success

  • Do not overmix the batter—this keeps the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Add a dollop of peanut butter or Nutella in the center for a fun surprise.
  • Use gold sprinkles if you can’t find edible gold dust.
