Ingredients
Dry ingredients:
- 325 g all-purpose flour 2 ⅔ cups/ 11 oz, Notes 1, 2
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 200 g granulated sugar 1 cup/ 7 oz
- 1 pinch of salt
Wet ingredients:
- 300 ml buttermilk 1 ¼ cup/ 10 fl.oz
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon red gel food coloring Note 3
- 2 eggs large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vinegar Note 4
- 125 g unsalted butter ½ cup/ 4.4 oz, Note 1
- 130 g chocolate chips ¾ cup, Note 5
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/ 200 degrees Celsius. Line the muffin tin with paper liners.
- Melt butter in a small pan. Set aside to cool slightly while you mix the rest of the ingredients.
- Dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- Wet ingredients: Whisk buttermilk, red gel food coloring, eggs, vanilla extract, vinegar, and melted butter in a medium bowl.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture. Stir gently and shortly until just combined. Don’t over stir. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop the batter into the muffin tin cups and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
- Rest for 5 minutes. Remove muffins and let cool on a wire rack. If desired, sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use a digital kitchen scale in baking; it guarantees for best results. Measuring flour and butter in cups is very unprecise (Amazon affiliate link).
- I often use cake flour when baking muffins; it makes them a bit more tender. But plain/all-purpose flour is fine as well.
- I strongly recommend using gel food coloring (Amazon affiliate link).
- White or apple cider vinegar.
- You can use between ½ and 1 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet, white chips, chocolate chunks, or chopped chocolate. Or leave them out if you don’t have them or don’t like them.
