Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins

2 cups of all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1½ cups sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups milk
1 egg
2 T canola oil (or other vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
¾ cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray your muffin tins with Pam with flour (or line them with paper muffin cups).

Sift together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate (large bowl, combine milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract.

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).

Fill muffin cups ⅔-¾ full.

Bake for 20-25 minutes (longer if you’re using larger muffin tins, of course), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Just make sure you don’t poke the toothpick into a chocolate chip.
