1 piece (medium) of Chocolate Muffin (80 g) has 312 calories. That works out to 390 calories per 100 g. It contains 42.4 g of carbs, 4.8 g of protein, 13.6 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 0.1 mg of Copper covers 13% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 65 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
A chocolate muffin is a small, individually baked cake made with flour, cocoa and sugar, usually with egg and milk in the batter. The familiar domed, tender style is associated with American baking, and chocolate chips or chunks are often folded in for extra pockets of chocolate.
Its soft, moist crumb and lightly crisp top make it an easy snack with coffee or tea, or a sweet addition to breakfast; cafés and bakeries commonly serve it on its own. It is mainly a source of carbohydrates and fat, with relatively little protein. For a less-heavy treat, enjoy a smaller portion alongside unsweetened coffee, or share one.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

To make a Chocolate Muffin, combine the dry ingredients, including flour, cocoa and raising agent, in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another. Fold them together just until combined, divide the batter among muffin cups and bake until the centres are set.
A Chocolate Muffin is usually served without frosting and often has a denser, less sweet crumb. A chocolate cupcake is more often treated as a small cake and topped with icing. Recipes overlap, so the distinction is not absolute.
A cracked top is common on a Chocolate Muffin: the batter rises and stretches as it bakes, sometimes forming a domed, split surface. It is usually a normal result of baking, not a sign that the muffin has gone bad.
Let a Chocolate Muffin cool completely, then keep it in an airtight container at room temperature. This helps prevent it from drying out. Avoid sealing it while warm, because trapped steam can make the top damp and the crumb gummy.
Yes, a Chocolate Muffin freezes well. Once cool, wrap it individually and place it in a sealed freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw it at room temperature, or warm it briefly after thawing for a softer texture.
Yes, you can reheat a Chocolate Muffin briefly in a microwave or a low oven. Warm it only until soft; heating it too long can dry out the crumb, and chocolate pieces inside may become very hot.
A Chocolate Muffin can sink if it is underbaked, if the raising agent is old, or if the oven door is opened before the structure sets. Check the centre before removing it and avoid disturbing the oven early in baking.
Yes, chocolate chips are optional in a Chocolate Muffin. Cocoa provides the main chocolate flavour, while chips add extra pockets of sweetness and texture; leave them out or replace them with chopped nuts if you prefer.
A Chocolate Muffin is a sweet baked treat, rather than a particularly nutrient-dense snack. Enjoying one occasionally can fit into a varied eating pattern, but having it often in place of more filling foods may leave less room for them.
No, do not give a dog a Chocolate Muffin. Chocolate contains theobromine, which dogs cannot process safely, and the muffin may also contain ingredients that upset them. If a dog has eaten some, contact a veterinarian promptly.
