There is nothing more comforting than the smell of muffins baking in the oven. And even better if there’s chocolate chips with an extra dose of cocoa powder. I love serving these whole wheat muffins for breakfast with coffee or as a snack on-the-go.
This recipe is loosely based on Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Muffins. I like to use whole wheat pastry flour for a smoother texture but regular whole wheat or white flour is fine, too. I mixed in some vanilla sugar which you can substitute with plain sugar and a dash of vanilla extract.
Recipe Below…
Add the dry and wet ingredients into two separate bowls.
Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Fill the muffin tins with batter, then top with more chocolate chips. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Muffins
Preheat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, flax, vanilla sugar, salt and chocolate chips. In a small bowl add the milk, coconut oil, agave and egg. Roughly whisk the wet ingredients together but not fully smooth. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients making the batter somewhat lumpy. Spoon the batter into the paper-lined muffin cups. Sprinkle with chocolate chips on top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Cool before serving.
Total Time: 30-40 minutes
Yield: 12 muffins

Mmm, these look amazing! I’m a big fan of Nigella, her recipes never disappoint!
Thank you, Jenny! Just had one during breakfast 🙂
Love the fact that you use coconut oil instead of other types of oil when baking this yummy chocolate chip muffins. Will surely try this one. Thanks for sharing your mouth-watering recipe!
Yes, coconut oil makes baked goods taste just as great and is a wonderful substitute. Thanks for commenting, Janine!
Just made these with my 4 yr old and they were yummy. I used organic soymilk and vegan chocolate chips to make them dairy free.
Great recipe, thanks!
The dairy free substitutions sound great, Ana! So happy you and your 4 yr old enjoyed them 🙂
These are so tempting! Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
You’re welcome!
