Rich, chocolate-y and fudgy Brownie Muffins will quickly become a favorite. Everything you love about a brownie, but in the form of a muffin you can have for breakfast!
I am all for finding any excuse to have chocolate for breakfast. Chocolate Oatmeal, Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars, or these Chocolate Peanut Butter Blender Muffins. There are all kinds of ways to have chocolate first thing in the morning.
These Brownie Muffins are definitely more on the dessert side, they are sweet, fudgy, rich, and delicious. They are fudgy like a brownie, but they are more of the texture of a muffin than a traditional Fudgy Brownie.
These muffins are loaded with cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and chocolate chips so you know they are going to be decadent and delicious! They are really easy to throw together, and they also freeze well, so you can make as many as you like!

How To Make Brownie Muffins
- Mix Dry Ingredients. In a bowl stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips. Adding the chocolate chips to this helps ensure they will not sink to the bottom.
- Mix Wet Ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together oil, sugar, melted chocolate, eggs, milk, and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
- Mix Together. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture and mix until it just comes together. Do not over mix.
- Bake. Fill the muffin tins all the way to the top and bake until a tester comes out mostly clean. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes in the muffin tin before removing to let them cool completely.

Recipe Tips & Suggestions
- Don’t over bake. Keep an eye on them in the oven and do not let them bake too long. A tester should come out “mostly” clean, with some crumbs.
- Don’t over mix. Mix until the flour streaks just disappear to achieve a tender texture.
- Use your favorite. Use the chocolate of your choice, such as semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark melted chocolate.
- Add nuts. For added flavor, consider adding chopped walnuts or pecans.
