– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

8. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
