Notes

  • Measurements: Use a digital kitchen scale to measure the ingredients; it guarantees for best results.
  • Flour choice: I prefer to use cake flour (without raising agents); it makes the muffins lighter. Of course, all-purpose is fine as well, but cake flour is better.
  • Chocolate: Either milk or bittersweet chocolate chips. Chopped chocolate can be used instead.
