Easy Milk Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes Recipe

Set oven to 350 degrees F. Line regular size muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, sifted baking cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon (if using); mix with a wooden spoon to combine.

In a two-cup measuring cup or bowl whisk together the milk, egg, oil and vanilla.

Add the milk/egg mixture to the dry ingredients; mix very well with a wooden spoon to combine well. Mix in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).

Divide the batter evenly between the lined muffin tins. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (don't over-bake!). Cool, and frost with favorite frosting.
