Ingredients

- All-purpose flour - when measuring flour out, make sure to use the scoop with a spoon and level with a knife method so you are measuring out the correct amount.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder - always use high quality cocoa powder when baking.
- Kosher salt or Sea salt - never use table salt when you are baking. Table salt is for seasoning the food AFTER it has already been seasoned.

Top Tips
- When measuring out the correct amount of batter to add into your cupcake liner, use a cookie scoop. That way you are controlling the amount of batter and you will get the same amount in each muffin tin.
- Many recipes call for semi-sweet chocolate chips. Not mine. I don't play around. When I'm ready for chocolate - I want the full experience so it's Milk Chocolate Chips all the way.
- For extra flavor and fun, you can also add a drizzle of confectioners' sugar icing which is easy and fast to make.
FAQ
Because you overmixed the batter. When making any type of muffins, it's very important to use two different bowls. That way when you combine your dry into wet, you are simply just folding the two sets of ingredients together. They have already been mixed separately.
Another reason they could be dry is because you overbaked them. Start watching your time at 18 minutes. If they aren't done, then put them back in for a few minutes at a time.
Is your baking powder still good? Make sure it hasn't expired and that you are storing it correctly and keeping the lid on it tightly.
