Mom's Easy Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
This muffin recipe follows a traditional method beginning with creaming softened butter and sugar for a smooth base. Eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla are mixed in to provide leavening and flavor. The batter is gently combined with flour and milk to retain lightness, and finally, semi-sweet chocolate chips are folded in for bursts of chocolate throughout. The batter rests briefly before baking, allowing ingredients to meld.
The muffins bake first at 425 degrees Fahrenheit to develop a nice rise and browning, before reducing to 350 degrees to finish cooking without burning. This temperature management helps form lightly crisp edges while maintaining moist and tender centers. The final product has a classic, approachable flavor and texture that works well any time of day.
These muffins are best served slightly warm or at room temperature. They pair well with coffee or milk and make a convenient homemade snack or breakfast option.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Lightly grease paper liners with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together butter and sugar, about two minutes.
- Beat in eggs until combined. Add in the baking powder, salt, and vanilla and mix briefly.
- Add in half of flour, mix with hand mixer until just combined, then add in the milk, stirring to combine. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and add in the remaining flour until just combined.
- Add the chocolate chips to the batter and use a rubber spatula to gently fold them in.
- Divide the batter up amongst the 12 muffins. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Let the batter rest while the oven preheats.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Reduce the heat in the oven to 350 degrees after 7 minutes. Watch the muffins closely as cooking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
