½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)

🥣 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugars, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Add chocolate chips if using. Do not overmix — just until combined.
Step 5: Bake
Divide batter evenly into the muffin cups (about ¾ full).
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool & Decorate
Let muffins cool completely before decorating.
Frost with whipped cream or ganache, then arrange colored candies (M&Ms, Skittles, or icing) in the five Olympic ring colors on top.
