    Cooking Steps

    • 1
      Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly.
    • 2
      Bloom the cocoa: In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with the hot coffee until smooth and thick. Let cool slightly.
    • 3
      Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    • 4
      Mix wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Then whisk in the bloomed cocoa paste, melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
    • 5
      Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined — avoid overmixing.
    • 6
      Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
    • 7
      Fill muffin tin: Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups. They should be nearly full. Top with a few extra chocolate chips if desired.
    • 8
      Bake: Bake for 17–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but no raw batter).
    • 9
      Cool: Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
