Classic chocolate chip muffins: 6 joyful bites

Classic chocolate chip muffins

Whip up a batch of classic chocolate chip muffins that are perfectly tender, delightfully sweet, and loaded with chocolate chips. These easy-to-follow instructions will guide you to muffin perfection, making every day feel like a little bit of Sunday.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For evenly distributed chocolate chips, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; this can lead to tough muffins.
  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
  • You can add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking for a little crunch.
