More helpful tips for you.
- Prepare your muffin pan well to prevent sticking. I like muffin liners for a recipe such as this one. You can also give your liners a quick spray with nonstick if needed.
- Fill each of your muffin cups about two thirds full. This will allow for the muffins to rise properly to form their classic and desired domed shape.
- Because these muffins are darker in color and are made with chocolate chips (which can give a false negative when using the toothpick test), it may be a challenge to determine when they are done baking. However, the muffins should be done baking when they can spring back when gently touched.
How to store leftover chocolate muffins.
Once they have fully cooled, these muffins should be stored in an airtight container. If properly stored, these muffins should keep for a few days at room temperature.
