Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Stir in the chocolate chips (and nuts or chocolate chunks if using).

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
