Chocolate Chip Muffins

Scrumptious & classic! Chocolate chip muffins… 🤎

Hard top with a soft bottom 😍

Here’s how I made them!

Ingredients 📝

(Servings: 12 muffins)

🍫 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

🍫 2 tsp baking powder

🍫 ½ tsp baking soda

🍫 ½ tsp fine sea salt

🍫 1 cup buttermilk*, room temperature

🍫 2 large eggs, room temperature

🍫 ½ cup granulated sugar

🍫 ½ cup packed light brown sugar

🍫 ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (1/2 cup=8 Tbsp)

🍫 1 ½ tsp real vanilla extract

🍫 1 cup 8 oz semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, regular chocolate chips or chocolate chunks, reserve 2 Tbsp to sprinkle the tops

Instructions ⏲️

🧁 Prepare – Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a standard 12-count muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

🧁 Whisk Dry Ingredients – In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

🧁 Combine Wet Ingredients and Sugar – In a separate large mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.

🧁 Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients – Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until you no longer see dry streaks of flour. It should be lumpy; do not over-mix.

🧁 Fold in Chocolate Chips – Add the chocolate chips to your batter, setting aside 2 Tbsp to use on the top, if desired. Fold gently just until combined.

🧁 Portion and Add Toppings – Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each up to the top (it helps to use a trigger-release ice cream scoop for easy portioning).

🧁 Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top. I also like to add a generous sprinkle of coarse sugar, which adds a bit of crunch and makes them look more like bakery muffins.

🧁 Bake the Muffins – Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for another 15-17 minutes* or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

🧁 Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool before storing. You can enjoy these fresh!
