Red Velvet Muffins - An excuse to have red velvet cake for breakfast! All the red velvet flavor you know and love with a few chocolate chips for good measure.
Preheat oven to 375º F. Prepare 12 cup muffin tin with liners or spray.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Add chocolate chips and mix until they are evenly incorporated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl mix together buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and food coloring until smooth and combined.
Add the milk mixture to the flour and gently mix until everything is just combined.
Divide the batter among the 12 muffins cups. Sprinkle with additional chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a tester comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
