Chocolate Strawberry Muffins

Moist and fluffy chocolate muffins bursting with rich cocoa flavor, studded with juicy strawberries and dark chocolate chips. These bakery-style treats are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a midday pick-me-up—simple to bake and irresistibly decadent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix brown sugar, melted coconut oil, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined—do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in chopped strawberries and chocolate chips.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Top with additional chocolate chips and strawberry pieces if desired.
  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable—just thaw and drain them first.
  • Swap dark chocolate chips with milk or white chocolate for variety.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
