1. Mix dry ingredients:
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl and whisk well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

2. Add liquid ingredients:
Pour the neutral vegetable oil and plant-based milk into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

3. Stir batter briefly:
Mix everything just until a smooth batter forms. Overmixing will make the muffins dense instead of fluffy. If desired, fold in the chopped dark chocolate now.

4. Fill the molds:
Distribute the chocolate batter evenly among 12 muffin liners in a muffin baking pan.

5. Bake the muffins:
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (convection) for 30 minutes until they are beautifully risen.
