At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

How To Get Perfect Chocolate Jumbo Muffins
To get perfect high-domed muffins like you would in a bakery at home, there is a specific process to get the best results.
While you can simply fill muffin cups halfway and pop in the oven until done, to get the super puffy, airy, and light jumbo muffins you love from your favorite bakery, you’ll want to follow these important tips for how to get high domed muffins at home:
- -Bake Jumbo Muffins 5-10 minutes more than you would regular muffins.
- -Use a spatula or a spoon to mix muffins, not a mixer.
- -Refrigerate dough, covered, for at least one hour after mixing, up to overnight.
- -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- -Bake muffins for about 6-8 minutes (until they have risen just past the muffin cup top) at 425 degrees.
- -Reduce heat to 350 for the second half of baking.
- -Always let muffins cool on a rack instead of in the pan, as leaving muffins in the pan will make the bottoms soggy as the steam we used to build a high domed muffin gets trapped and makes the texture soggy!
How To Freeze Muffins
These muffins are great for meal prep since they can be frozen easily if you have too many, or if you’d like to have them portioned out individually.
- Tightly wrap each muffin in plastic wrap.
- Add plastic wrapped muffins to a large freezer sized ziploc bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
- When ready to eat, let muffin thaw naturally overnight in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry place.
- Pop in the oven or microwave to warm, and enjoy!

Easy Double Chocolate Chunk Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 9 ½ oz all purpose flour, about 2 cups
- 3 ½ oz cocoa powder, about 3/4 cup
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 extra large eggs
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and sugar.
- Toss the chocolate chunks into the dry ingredients to coat the chocolate chunks in flour (which will help them not sink to the bottom of the mix when baking!)
- Make a well in the middle and add in eggs and vanilla, whisking vigorously.
- Using a large spoon, mix rest of ingredients in to muffins until large clumps are gone and batter is consistently mixed – but do not overwork muffin batter.
- Cover batter and refrigerate for one hour to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Fill muffin cups to 3/4 full.
- Bake at 425 for 6-10 minutes, until muffins have puffed slightly above muffin liner.
- Reduce heat to 350 (DONT open oven when you do this) and bake until sides of muffins are slightly crunchy and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (after about 25-30 minutes total baking time.)

If you only have large eggs, how many eggs would you need to equal 2 extra large eggs?
Two large eggs should be fine.
Can you just do reg milk for buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk you can quickly make it by adding a splash (1 tsp) of white vinegar to your milk and just let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes. This will give you the flavor and the chemical makeup of buttermilk that is critical for the best texture. Hope this helps!
At what point did did you add the sugar? Is that in the “rest of the ingredients” phase or at the beginning with the other dry ingredients? I missed the sugar altogether … I made sugarless bricks whoops
Yes it goes with the other dry ingredients, I will re-word the text so no one else ends up with bricks, thanks for the comment!
I’m wondering why mine turned out so bad. My batter was thick and hard, like a bad play dough. I measured everything exactly. The muffins didn’t rise and were very hard and ugly.
Hmmm are you using buttermilk and is your butter melted and cooled. If you stick the butter from the microwave straight into the cold batter it can react badly with the batter… Please let me know if you do figure it out, Ill make a batch at home to check the measurements.
Is it possible that your baking powder is expired
