Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate Chip Muffins combine a tender muffin crumb made from flour, sugar, milk, butter, and eggs with generous chocolate chunks folded into the batter. The muffins bake initially at high heat to encourage dome rise, then finish at moderate heat for even baking, resulting in soft, moist cupcakes with melted chocolate bites.
