### Chocolate Muffins (Makes 12)
**Ingredients:**
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1¼ cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (¾ cup for batter, ¼ cup for topping)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Break up any lumps of sugar.
4. Stir in ¾ cup of chocolate chips.
5. Add the wet ingredients and melted butter to the dry mixture. Mix gently until just combined—don’t overmix.
6. Fill muffin cups to the brim. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips on top and press lightly.
7. Bake for 8 minutes at 425°F, then reduce temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for another 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
