Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. Measure all ingredients to have them ready for smooth mixing.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients Separately: In another bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures Carefully: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir gently but thoroughly until just combined. Some small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute evenly without breaking them up.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Measure flour using the spoon-and-level method to avoid dense muffins.
  • Stir batter until just combined to keep muffins light and fluffy; avoid overmixing.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and consistent texture.
  • To prevent chocolate chips from sinking, toss them in a little flour before folding into the batter.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick after 18 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
