Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe
Description
The batter is made by whisking dry ingredients separately from wet ingredients and then combining them gently to avoid overmixing, which keeps the texture tender. Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips are folded in last, distributing chocolate bites throughout the muffins. Baking at 350°F for about 20 minutes produces a well-risen muffin with a light crust.
These muffins are straightforward to prepare with simple pantry ingredients and require no special equipment beyond a muffin tin and standard bowls. Lining the tin or greasing it prevents sticking. The gentle folding preserves a slightly lumpy batter, contributing to a tender crumb after baking.
Leftover muffins can be stored for a few days and make convenient grab-and-go treats. The recipe allows for some topping with additional chocolate chips for a more appealing look if desired.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup chocolate chips I like to use mini, semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In another bowl (or I like to just use a large liquid measuring cup), whisk together the milk, vegetable oil and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined, then add the chocolate chips and gently fold in. The batter will be lumpy, but you don’t want to over-mix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, dividing the batter evenly. (You can top the batter with a few extra chocolate chips, if desired, to make them pretty.)
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Nutrition information is an estimate and can vary with different ingredient brands and products.
- To keep muffins moist, avoid overmixing the batter; a few lumps are fine before baking.
