  DIRECTIONS

  • Set oven to 350°F.
  • Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl combine cocoa and baking powder; mix to combine.
  • Add in boiling water; mix well with a wooden spoon to combine.
  • Add in the melted butter and vanilla; mix well.
  • Add in the sugar, mix well with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in eggs with a wooden spoon; mix until combined.
  • Mix the flour with salt; add in the chocolate mixture; mix well to combine (batter will be a bit on the thin side).
  • Add/mix in mini chocolate chips or walnuts (or 1 cup of both!).
  • Using an ice cream scoop fill each of the muffin tins almost to the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until muffins are done, don't over bake! (might take a little longer, depending on how full the muffin tins are with the batter).
  • Cool, drizzle glaze over or frost with buttercream frosting.  (I made them as mini muffins and baked them at 350 for 13 minutes. I chopped up some (a scant 1/4 cup) semi-sweet chocolate chunks from Trader Joe's and mixed them in.--Nico)
