Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Gradually combine wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Spoon batter into each mini muffin cavity, filling halfway.
  6. Add a few chocolate chips to the center of each portion.
  7. Cover with additional batter until each cavity is about three quarters full.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to maintain the molten center.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey texture.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother filling.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave for about 10 seconds to restore the soft center.
