Hope you all had a happy Fourth! To keep the celebration going, I (Jess) am sharing my latest recipe for my greatest breakfast obsession: the muffin. What better way to start your day than with the singing-sobbing-shivering-side-effects reserved only for foods that contain carbs and chocolate – am I right? Nothing gets me going like a little chocolate alongside my morning latte, and I suspect you feel the same, too. I make a big batch of these, wrap and store them in the fridge, then pop them back in the oven for a few minutes when the breakfast bells ring. Aaand I have a feeling no one would complain about a hazelnut chocolate chip muffin as an afternoon snack, either. Keep reading for the recipe.

These look SO good! I think hazelnut is a forgotten flavor. We always turn to vanilla in baking but I love hazelnut!
these look amazing. the perfect way to start your morning or afternoon snack. i mean, really, any time would be great for these!
YUM!
I just made these, and they’re great! I added some orange zest and cinnamon. My batter was extremely thin, so I was nervous, but they baked up perfectly. The hazelnut flour is such a nice touch.
