Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Muffins
Description
These muffins start with a white cake mix base combined with milk, oil, and eggs then folded with chocolate chips for pockets of sweet chocolate in each bite. Baking at 350°F produces a lightly golden crust while maintaining a soft, moist interior. Dotted extra chocolate chips on top enhance the appearance and flavor.
The texture achieved is moist and tender without being dense, partly due to mixing only until just combined to avoid toughness. Using paper liners keeps the muffins easy to handle and clean up. These muffins work well fresh out of the oven or cooled.
The recipe offers flexibility to substitute any flavored cake mix or alternative mix-ins like fruit or sprinkles depending on taste. Proper mixing technique helps keep the muffins fluffy rather than dense.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 2 large egg
- 15 ounces white cake mix
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350. Line muffin tin with paper liners.
- Add the milk, oil and eggs to a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Add the cake mix and mix until just combined (the mixture may still look a little lumpy). Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill the muffin tins about 2/3 of the way full. Dot the tops with extra chocolate chips, if desired.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden and a tester comes out mostly clean.
- Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add extra chocolate chips on top before baking for an intensified chocolate flavor and visual appeal.
- Any cake mix flavor can replace the white cake mix, and chocolate chips may be swapped for fruit or sprinkles.
- Mix batter only until combined to keep muffins light and fluffy rather than dense.
- Enjoy muffins warm or cooled based on preference.
