# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or apply a light coating of nonstick spray.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and Flamin Hot seasoning using a whisk until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until integrated. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
04 - Gradually fold the dry ingredient blend into the wet mixture with a spatula, mixing just until incorporated to maintain tenderness.
05 - Gently fold in chopped mini pretzels and semi-sweet chocolate chips until dispersed throughout the batter.
06 - Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle each muffin with additional Flamin Hot seasoning and extra pretzel pieces for added flavor and texture.
07 - Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges mostly clean.
08 - Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.
