Chocolate Chip Muffins
These bakery-style Chocolate Chip Muffins have a tender crumb, a domed top, and plenty of chocolate chips throughout. Vanilla and a touch of sour cream keep the texture moist without making the batter dense. They bake in about 20 minutes and are best eaten the same day.
Equipment
- Muffin tin
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour sifted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup milk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until you achieve a uniform mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of each muffin for decoration.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips or adding a pinch of cinnamon.
- If you're looking for a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and use a dairy-free spread in place of butter.
