Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp instant espresso powder Optional
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk Not fat free
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp pure almond extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. (See Cook's note)
In a medium-size mixing bowl use a whisk to sift together the flour, cocoa, granulated and brown sugars, baking powder, baking soda, espresso and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla and almond extracts.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet. Use large non stick spatula or spoon to combine.
Mix in 1 cup chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Fill each cavity 2/3 full using an ice cream scoop. (Have another pan nearby to make more muffins, if needed) Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then carefully move to a cooling rack to cool completely. (Don't turn the pan upside down to remove muffins it will smash the soft chocolate chips on top)
Store in an airtight container chilled or at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Notes

Yield may be greater than 12 muffins depending on how the batter is divided. Have additional liners and a muffin pan nearby in the event you make more.
