FOR THE STREUSEL:
1/2 cups Unbleached All-purpose Flour
3 Tablespoons Lightly Packed Brown Sugar
1-1/2 Tablespoon Dutch-process Cocoa
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cold And Cubed
1/3 cups Mini Semisweet Chocolate Chips
FOR THE MUFFINS:
1-3/4 cup Unbleached All-purpose Flour
2/3 cups Dutch-process Cocoa
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
3/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt
2 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Chocolate Milk
1/2 teaspoons Espresso Powder
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoons Almond Extract
2 teaspoons White Vinegar
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted And Cooled
3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips (Regular Size)

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners.
2
For the streusel:
3
Stir flour, brown sugar, and cocoa. Add cubed butter and distribute through the mixture, using your fingers to mash the butter into smaller bits. Once the butter chunks are more like flat pellets and evenly dispersed, stir in chocolate chips. Set aside.
4
For the muffin batter:
5
In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6
In a large measuring cup, whisk eggs lightly. Add sugar, chocolate milk and espresso powder, whisking until combined. Add extracts and then vinegar, and whisk again.
7
Pour wet ingredients, melted butter, and oil into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
8
Spoon batter into prepared tin. The liners will be full. Press a generous sprinkling of chocolate streusel onto each muffin. (Reserve any remaining streusel and refrigerate for another use.)
9
Bake for about 18 minutes, or until muffins bounce back when pressed in the center. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
