Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare your pans: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or greasing it well. This ensures your muffins bake evenly and release effortlessly.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until everything is evenly combined. This step is key for a balanced leavening action and consistent sweetness.
  3. Cream butter and eggs: In a separate bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy. This mixture adds richness and helps trap air for lightness.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk (or buttermilk) into the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Gently fold everything until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen muffins.
  5. Add the chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter carefully to distribute evenly without breaking them up or deflating the mix.
  6. Fill the muffin cups and bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full for a perfect dome shape. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm for the ultimate treat.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even mixing and better texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; overworking creates tough muffins instead of soft ones.
  • Measure flour correctly by spooning into measuring cups and leveling off to avoid dense muffins.
  • Add chocolate chips last and fold gently to keep them intact and well distributed.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick to avoid overbaking, keeping muffins moist and tender.
