Breakfast for the little’s this morning. Chocolate Chip Muffins!
Chocolate Chip Muffins
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Plain or Greek yogurt or sour cream
1/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup salted butter melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt ( if using non salted butter)
1 tbs cinnamon or as much or as little as you like.
3/4 bag of chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees, line a muffin pan with liners.
2. Add sugar, melted butter, yogurt, milk, eggs and vanilla, whisk them together.
3. In a small bowl whisk the dry ingredients, then fold them into the wet ingredients until combined.
4. Add your chocolate chips and fold them into the batter.
5. Divide the batter evenly over the muffin cups. An ice cream scoop works great for this! Sprinkle a little sugar on the tops of the muffins!
6. Bake the muffins at 425 degrees for 7 min then turn down to 350 and continue baking for about another 20 min until the tops are golden brown. I’ve never done this but tried it in this recipe and they came out perfect!!
7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 min before removing them, then place on a wire rack.
8. Dig in!! These were so delicious 🤤

Baking chocolate chip muffins at home quickly becomes a favorite routine, especially when you find a recipe that's straightforward and yields such delightful results. One thing I’ve learned through my baking experience is that using Greek yogurt or sour cream not only adds moisture but also gives your muffins a slight tang that balances the sweetness from the chocolate chips perfectly. The combination of baking powder and baking soda ensures the muffins rise well and develop a soft yet fluffy texture inside. Another trick I often use is the two-stage baking temperature method. Starting at a high temperature of 425 degrees helps set the muffin’s structure and gives the top a lovely golden crust. Lowering the temperature halfway through prevents the muffins from burning while allowing the interior to cook through thoroughly. I also love adding cinnamon as it adds warmth and depth to the flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon to suit your family's taste or try adding other spices like nutmeg for a slight variation. For easier portioning and less mess, an ice cream scoop is my go-to kitchen tool when filling muffin cups. It helps maintain even sizes for consistent baking. Sprinkling a pinch of sugar on top before baking gives a delightful slight crunch on the muffin tops, elevating the texture. Once baked, letting the muffins cool for about 10 minutes before removing them from the pan is crucial. This prevents them from breaking apart and keeps their shape intact. Overall, these chocolate chip muffins are a hit for breakfast or even an afternoon snack. They store well in an airtight container and can also be gently reheated in the microwave for a warm treat. Give them a try and enjoy a simple yet satisfying homemade muffin experience that’s sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face.
