Description
Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, fluffy, bakery-style muffins packed with gooey chocolate chips and a hint of vanilla. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, these golden treats are easy to make and deliver that classic, comforting flavor everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease lightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined — do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
- Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (a few melted chocolate streaks are fine).
- Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra moisture, substitute half the butter with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Use mini chocolate chips for even distribution throughout the muffins.
- These freeze well — store in an airtight bag and reheat for 15 seconds in the microwave.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a cozy twist or espresso powder for depth of flavor.
