Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (250 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar, packed
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by setting the oven to 350F and positioning the rack in the center. Protect the muffin tin with paper liners or a light coating of cooking spray.
- Create a dry ingredient foundation by thoroughly blending flour, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl using a whisk.
- In a separate vessel, combine melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until the liquid mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Gently introduce the liquid components into the dry mixture. Stir with minimal manipulation, stopping precisely when ingredients are incorporated to prevent tough muffins.
- Scatter chocolate chips throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution with delicate folding motions.
- Portion the batter into muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full to allow proper rising during baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick – it should emerge clean or with minimal crumbs.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let them rest in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to complete the cooling process and develop optimal texture.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough, dense muffins by gently stirring until ingredients are just combined, stopping when no dry flour streaks remain.
- Try mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or alternative chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white) to customize the flavor profile and add texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend, ensuring the same tender crumb and delicious taste.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze for up to a month, wrapping individually for easy grab-and-go breakfast or snack options.
