Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate Chip Muffins combine classic muffin ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda with generous semi-sweet chocolate chips. The batter, mixed to a lumpy consistency, bakes into muffins with tender crumb centers and golden tops. They are ideal as a breakfast treat or snack and store well for several days.
Ingredients
For the chocolate chip muffins:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (see note 2)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with cupcake liners or generously grease. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg until smooth. Add the oil, milk, and vanilla, and whisk until combined. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until combined. (Dough will be lumpy.) Fold in chocolate chips.
- Fill prepared muffin cups with batter. Bake until muffin centers bounce back when lightly pressed, about 18 to 22 minutes. Cool muffins on a rack for several minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely and store in an airtight container, up to 4 days.
Notes
- Use a high-quality nonstick muffin pan for easy release without paper liners.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips are traditional, but milk, dark, mini chips, or chunks can be used.
- This recipe yields 12 muffins of regular size.
- Store muffins at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
