Mom's Easy Chocolate Chip Muffins

Mom's Easy Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, tender treats featuring a sweet vanilla-scented batter studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips. The mix of butter and sugar creamed together gives the muffins richness and a tender crumb. Baking at a high temperature initially creates a slightly domed top and golden crust, then lowering the heat ensures the centers bake through without drying. These muffins offer a familiar classic flavor, great for breakfast, snacks, or lunchboxes.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Lightly grease paper liners with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together butter and sugar, about two minutes.
  3. Beat in eggs until combined. Add in the baking powder, salt, and vanilla and mix briefly.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the chocolate chips to the batter and use a rubber spatula to gently fold them in.
  6. Divide the batter up amongst the 12 muffins. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Let the batter rest while the oven preheats.
  7. 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.
  8. Let muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing them and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
