Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
This recipe produces chocolate chip muffins by first mixing the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, and salt, then blending melted butter with both white and brown sugars. Eggs are added one by one, followed by milk and vanilla, before gently combining with the dry ingredients to maintain tenderness in the crumb. Mini chocolate chips are folded in before filling the muffin cups about three-quarters full.
Baking at 375°F for 15-18 minutes yields muffins with a golden exterior and a moist interior dotted with melted chocolate chips. Optionally, coarse sugar sprinkled on top before baking adds texture and a light sweetness to the crust.
These muffins are versatile for breakfast or snacks and benefit from freezing leftovers; they reheat well in the microwave to restore softness.
