These triple chocolate muffins are the best chocolate muffins I’ve ever made! I’ve tried several chocolate muffin recipes till now and I can definitely say this one is way more tasty and chocolatey! If you like fudge cakes with a strong chocolate flavor, you should give these rich dark chocolate muffins a try!
Our triple chocolate muffins and eggless chocolate cupcakes are always hits for any special occasion. Chocolate itself is like a magical word that can cheer you up and your joy doubles when it combines with the word muffin.
Do you ever enter the kitchen to get some chocolate with your coffee to overcome your stress or melancholy? I guarantee these chocolate muffins do their job faster! You will feel proud of yourself when you see that amazing result after taking them out of oven.
The best part of these muffins is that they don’t contain butter, just very little olive oil. Don’t worry, you won’t even notice the flavor of it. It makes the muffins lighter and it’s a good reason to have more than one or even two!
If you’re baking something with chocolate, I think you should use dark chocolate. If it’s a high quality one, the result gets even better. The same is true for the cocoa powder you use. I t must be unsweetened and a good quality one to make irresistible chocolate treats with their color and taste.
I simply mixed milk and lemon juice to have buttermilk fort his recipe as it’s not sold in my country. You can do the same or just buy buttermilk. And it worked really well!
I’m not the only one who thinks that these are triple chocolate muffins are the best. I made these for a friend’s baby shower and the guests all asked for a second one saying these are so good! Unfortunately I made just one per person thinking that there would be some other great treats too! So increase the amounts if you are making these for a large group of people as they will ask for a second.

Just pulled these out of the oven and they are heavenly! I used orange infused olive oil and added some grated orange rind for Chocolate Orange muffins. Thanks for a great recipe!
Marilyn says
So good. I used coconut oil for olive oil, but other than that no changes. Deliciously like a brownie....my husband gave 2 thumbs up (mouth full of muffin). Thanks for the recipe.
Zerrin says

Hi Zerrin! I just wanted to say thank you for the delicious recipe; I made these chocolate muffins for a supper club event and it was a hit. I couldn't make buttermilk, so I just used regular milk, and it turned out great. Super fudgy and yummy, esp after refrigerating overnight (: Love your blog very much...all your recipes look amazing!

I haven't heard of vanilla powder before, can I use vanilla extract?
Zerrin says
Yes you can.
Diane says
Would this recipe work by baking them in a mini muffin pan and dunking them in a glaze to make them donut holes?
Zerrin says
I haven't tried something like it before, but it sounds ok to me. Would love to hear the result if you try.
