Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper cases.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Add the canola oil, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar, and caster sugar. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Dissolve the coffee granules in the hot water, then pour it into the batter mixture. Stir well.
Mixing
  1. Sift in the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently mix until incorporated.
  2. Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking
  1. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into each muffin case, filling them generously.
  2. Bake for 23–25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the muffins light and fluffy. Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm spice that complements the chocolate beautifully.
