🧺 What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
¾ cup sugar
1 cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips (plus a few for topping!)

👩‍🍳 Let’s Bake!

1. Preheat & Prep

Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with cute paper cups (let your little one pick the colors!).

2. Mix the Dry Stuff

In a big bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Watch the cocoa make a puff of chocolate dust—kids love that! ☁️🍫

3. Mix the Wet Stuff

In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, milk, oil, and vanilla until it’s all smooth and glossy.

4. Combine & Fold

Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir gently. Don’t overmix! Then fold in the chocolate chips. It should be a thick, chocolatey batter—yum!

5. Scoop & Sprinkle

Spoon the batter into the muffin cups (about ¾ full). Let your little helper sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.

6. Bake!

Bake for 16–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (except for melted chocolate!).

Let them cool a bit... then enjoy with a glass of milk and a smile. 🥛😋

🧡 Parent Tip:

Let kids crack the eggs (into a small bowl first), stir the batter, or sprinkle the toppings. It’s messy, but so worth it.
