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
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- 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.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the batter before baking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
