Sundays remind me of chocolate chip muffins. When I was younger my dad would go run on Sunday mornings and afterwards come home with goodies from Einstein Bros. Bagels. I would always request their chocolate chip muffin which was a colossal mound of ooey gooey goodness with large pieces of sugar on top. The only thing that would make this “muffin” better is if the batter was chocolate.
To make these Double Chocolate Chunk Muffins I added cocoa powder and vanilla to the batter. I also used Nestlé Chocolate Chunks instead of chocolate chips in order to get as much chocolate in each bite as possible. The sugar on top is Sugar In The Raw and pretty much the largest crystals I could find at the store.
In order to make the muffins giant I used a Jumbo Muffin Pan and filled them to the top. I used an ice cream scoop to get as much batter as I could in each scoop into the pan. I think 4 people could share 1 of them. They almost doubled in size during baking!
These muffins live up to their name and I will definitely have to share them or I might be too stuffed to write my post for next week!
