Description
A straightforward recipe for classic chocolate chip muffins.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a slightly crisp top, sprinkle a small amount of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
- You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a slightly tangier flavor.
