Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar (packed lightly)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup milk (room temperature)
- ½ cup salted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 large eggs (beaten and room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cups walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla and mix well.
- Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix just enough to combine the ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Fill muffin cups 3/4 cup full then bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes then remove and place on a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes
- Don’t over mix the batter – to prevent hard and dense muffins, don’t mix your batter too much.
- Top with sugar – adding a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top just before baking is a nice way to add a little extra sugary crunch to each bite. It makes your homemade chocolate chip muffins look and taste more like bakery-style muffins too!
- Add some chocolate chips on top to get the look of bakery style chocolate chip muffins!
- Store leftovers – once completely cooled, these muffins should be kept at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can extend their freshness by a couple of days if you put them in the fridge. They freeze well for months!
