Made with simple ingredients including all-purpose flour, sugar, and plenty of chocolate chips, they come together quickly in just 30 minutes. Moist and fluffy with a golden-brown top, these muffins are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup whole milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (or neutral oil)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the muffins remain tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  7. Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk for better mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips as preferred.
  • For a healthier option, replace half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
