Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners (or spray with non-stick cooking spray).
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or do so in a microwave on 50% power in 30-second increments), until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large glass measuring cup or a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg and vanilla until well combined. Pour the liquid ingredients and the melted butter and chocolate over the dry ingredients, add the chocolate chips, and with a rubber spatula, gently fold until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix the batter. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold. Serve warm or at room temperature. Muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days (or frozen for up to 2 months).

they look and sound amazing! And I LOVE that you put peanut butter on them, a genius idea
I use to always get giant chocolate muffins from Sams club when I was younger, and these look like they could be their twin! I can’t wait to try this!
These look so amazing – esp with the peanut butter!!
Yum! Especially with that peanut butter! So funny the muffin/cupcake debate. The things we do to rid ourselves of guilt!!
Oh yes! Those muffins are gorgeous, and the peanut butter makes them over-the-top!
These muffins look amazing!!! I tend to think that chocolate muffins are more like cupcakes w/o frosting too, but I am surely not opposed to eating cupcakes for breakfast either :)
OMG! I’m trying to convince myself that these aren’t that fattening since they have buttermilk and not THAT much butter. LOL
I’d say they are just naked cupcakes LOL but no matter what you call them, they look delicious!
I don’t think I can eat these for breakfast but bring them on for dessert:)
Wow, these look amazing! I can’t wait to make them!
I vote that they are breakfast! A muffin is a cupcake without frosting. As long as there is no frosting, it is breakfast food. It’s the law.
Oh my gosh, you had me at chocolate-chocolate. These look delicious!!!
These look SOOO good :)
Michelle, this looks like a keeper…definitely one I will be baking for my guys…. it’s chocolatey goodness without too much fat, perfect for breakfast or dessert. BTW, I just picked up my Crofter’s jams at the Post Office (missed the mailman at the door), and we are enjoying them. Many thanks again for this gift. Happy New Year.
These look delish!
These look like an amazing way to not feel guity about having dessert for breakfast :)
Sounds like a delicious and decadent treat!
OMG chocolate and peanut butter. My husband would vomit at the mere thought of the combination, so they’d all be MINE… gloriously mine!
These look beyond amazing! I’m not one for store bought goods, but I have to admit that I have a weak spot for Costco’s chocolate muffins. These look way better than those, and that’s saying something!
They look delicious!! I will have to make them when I get one of my massive cravings for something Chocolate! Thanks for sharing!
