Double Chocolate Tahini Muffins
These double chocolate tahini muffins are ultra chocolatey, soft, and moist! They are the ultimate homemade bakery style muffins with high dome tops and melty chocolate chunks studded throughout the interior.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g dutch process cocoa powder
- 12 g black cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 72 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 60 g neutral oil, canola, vegetable, or light-tasting extra virgin olive oil
- 120 g yogurt
- 110 g tahini
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
- 50 g chocolate, melted
- 125 g chocolate, roughly chopped, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a muffin tin with parchment cups. You can also make your own by cutting squares of parchment paper, two per muffin, and pressing them into the molds.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powders, espresso powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugars, oil, yogurt, and tahini.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla, and whisk until fully combined.
- Whisk in the melted chocolate until fully combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
- Lastly, fold in the chopped chocolate.
- Use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop to divide the batter between the muffins cups. If using your own DIY parchment liners, it's easier to hold it in your hand and fill it using the cookie scoop, then place it back in the muffin pan.
- Top the muffins with more chopped chocolate if desired, then bake the muffins for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a couple minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you do not have black cocoa powder on hand, you can just use 42g of dutch process cocoa powder total.
- I recommend using an all natural drippy tahini for best results.
- Use high quality semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate bars or wafers for best results.
