Instructions
Muffin
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place your rack in the upper third of your oven.
- In a large bowl combine your sugars and wet ingredients. Whisk well until combined and smooth.

- 1/2 cup brown sugar, 125 grams
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup tahini, 65 grams
- 1/2 cup canola oil, 65 grams
- 3/4 cup yogurt or sour cream, 175 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Add your flour and salt then sift your cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda together. Add your chocolate chips on top and begin folding into your wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, fold until just combined and no dry streaks remain.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, 240 grams
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder - sifted, 50 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking powder, sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, 106 grams
- Place muffin liners or spray muffin tin, skipping every other space to allow space between each muffin. Fill each muffin with batter to the top of the liner, set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine your topping ingredients and whisk with a fork to combine.
- 1/3 cup tahini, 65 grams
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, 35 grams
- Top each muffin with a spoonful of your tahini topping then additional mini chocolate chips.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 400 degrees then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown, domed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with no crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes remove muffins from tin and allow to cool on a rack. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Dutch cocoa powder is much richer and darker than natural - it's my go to for any chocolate recipes. This is the one that I use: https://amzn.to/4bzh4Xf
- Sifting your cocoa powder and leavening agents is very important - don't skip that step! You can use a sifter or a fine mesh sieve.
