Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare 18 muffin cups by greasing them or lining them with paper liners.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, baking cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is evenly blended and free of clumps.

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about three-fourths full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
