Bakery Style Double Chocolate Muffins recipe makes the best muffins ever! Packed with chocolate, sweet and delicious, these muffins are a must for breakfast and snack!
BAKERY STYLE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
I love muffins in the morning. They make a great grab-n-go snack during the day. Semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chunks. Orange zest for a delicate citrus hint. All mixed into a Greek yogurt batter. You will love the high-tops on these muffins. You can achieve them with my simple tip. I use it every time I make muffins, like my Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins or the Jumbo Chocolate Chip Muffins. It works every time!
TIP FOR MAKING THE BEST BAKERY STYLE MUFFINS:
I have done a little research on baking bakery style muffins. It appears that the trick is in the first 5 minutes of baking. You place the muffins in the oven preheated to 400 degrees and bake them for 5 minutes. The blast of steam creates the high tops fast. Then you decrease the temperature and finish baking the muffins.

oh Anna, these muffins should be illegal. I can picture myself sitting somewhere quite in the country on a cold day with a warm cup of coffee and a muffin pan by my side.
Susi says
I just baked these muffins and I must say that I was very pleased with the texture and of course the taste. But did you really got 24 high domed huge muffins out of this batter? I only got about 20 (not very huge ones).
This recipe appears several times throughout the net yielding from 12 to 24 muffins. The truth lies probably in between, I guess.

Hi Susi! Thank you so much for your comment. You are right about the recipes reporting in the wide range of yield. Honestly, I think it depends on how much you fill your muffin tins, and it's important not to overmix the batter. Hope this helps!
Lauren @ A Nerd Cooks says
I baked these muffins last night and am trying them out for the first time right now. They are SO good! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I'll definitely be blogging about them.

CrunchyCreamySw says
Hi Maryann! So sorry to hear about the muffins... I would suggest checking the expiration date on your baking soda. It reacts with the yogurt and together create the lift for these muffins. Hope this helps! Thank you!
