Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
This muffin recipe uses cake flour and baking soda as leavening agents for a soft texture. Butter and sugar are creamed to start, then egg whites whipped with vanilla are added to lighten the batter. Greek yogurt contributes moisture and slight tang, balancing the sweetness and fat. Flour and baking soda are incorporated last, mixing only until combined to avoid toughness.
Chocolate chips are gently folded through the batter before spooning into greased muffin pans lined with paper. Baking at 375°F for about 16-18 minutes yields muffins with a tender crumb and melty chocolate pockets. Cooling before eating lets the structure settle.
These muffins can be made gluten-free using Cup4Cup flour as a direct substitute, maintaining the same texture and flavor, an adaptable option noted by the recipe tester.
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 3/4 cups cake flour (see notes below for GF*)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3 tablespoons butter room temperature, unsalted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 egg or two large eggs, large, whites
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 10 ounces Greek yogurt 0%, 1 1/4 cups
- 9 tbsp chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners and spray with oil.
- Mix flour and baking soda with a whisk in a medium bowl.
- In a large bowl with a hand mixer, mix and cream the butter and sugar on medium setting for about 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg whites and vanilla with a whisk, add to bowl with butter/sugar mixture.
- Mix in the yogurt, then flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined, 1 minute.
- With a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and spoon to lined muffin tins about 3/4 filled (I used an ice cream scoop).
- Bake at 375° or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool before eating.
Notes
- To make gluten-free muffins, substitute cake flour with Cup4Cup gluten-free flour in a 1:1 ratio.
