Double Chocolate Muffins

If you like chocolate, you’re going to love these Double Chocolate Muffins. They are incredibly moist, with a deep dark chocolate flavor. The mini semisweet chocolate chips add another depth of flavor. If you really want to give these muffins a chocolate boost, be sure to try making them with the espresso powder. Of course, even if you decide to leave the espresso powder out, these muffins are still fantastic!
