I love muffins of all kinds, but hook me up with a chocolate muffin that’s good and has a strong chocolaty flavor and some white chocolate chips in it and I’m one happy camper. I made these with the kids and of course they were consumed before the next morning.

- In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: whipping cream, milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Notes
- These muffins are a great alternative to cake for birthdays and events.
- They are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the recipe use white chocolate chips in a dark cocoa batter?
The contrast is intentional — I fold ½ cup of white chocolate chips into an intensely chocolaty batter made with ½ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to create pockets of sweet, creamy white chocolate against the deep dark base. Dark chocolate chips are a great alternative if you prefer a richer, more uniform flavour.
Why is it important not to overmix the batter?
Stir the wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing develops the gluten in the 2 cups of all-purpose flour and makes the muffins tough and dense rather than tender. Stop as soon as no dry flour is visible.
