Chocolate Overload Muffins are a double chocolate muffin recipe loaded with chocolate chunks, chocolate chips and chocolate sprinkles. So good!
Are you a Choc-O-Holic? I totally am. I really have a love for chocolate. Every time I am in the store & I pass the bakery section I see those double chocolate chip muffins. It takes all the self control I have to not put them in my basket. Which is why I made these Chocolate Overload Muffins.
But I convince myself that I am going to just make some. I never do- which is probably a good thing- right??!!

Chocolate Overload Muffins
Here are some commonly asked questions
Why aren’t these muffins very sweet?
Short Answer, they are muffins, not cupcakes.
Now I have had people question the amount of sugar in comparison to the other volume of ingredients. These are muffins- so the muffin itself isn’t overly sweet – which is why the call for this amount of sugar.
Most of the sweetness comes from all the extra chocolate added – but it works because then they are not so overly decadent that you can’t enjoy them in the morning.

Tirzah says
Made these last night. They turned out dry and my husband and I didn’t think they were sweet enough.
Gina Kleinworth says
I’m sorry to hear you didn’t like them Tirzah. It could be the elevation & difference in humidity where you are located. You could increase the chocolate or the sugar & play with ratios to get it to the flavor you are looking for. These worked for our taste for a breakfast recipe. As I mentioned- they are not overly sweet since they are for breakfast & less like a cupcake.
