A rich, moist chocolate muffin inspired by Whistler’s famous Olympic Village treat — packed with cocoa and melty chocolate chunks.
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder (Dutch-process preferred)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp espresso powder (optional)
2 large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
½ cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
1½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugars, yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry mixtures. Fold in chocolate chunks.
Scoop batter into muffin cups. Top with extra chocolate or sugar.
Bake 17–20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
Add raspberries, nuts, or orange zest for variations.
Rest batter 15 minutes for taller muffins.
Store at room temp or freeze for later.
