Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

These chocolate chip muffins are a perfect breakfast and brunch treat and always a hit for snacks like I mentioned. I have made them for showers many times too and they are always a favorite! And these made from scratch muffins couldn’t be any easier or more delicious!

Here’s how I make them.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

• flour – I used all-purpose flour for these muffins.
• baking powder – baking powder is used in this recipe to help the muffins rise when baking.
• salt
• butter – I use unsalted, softened butter for this recipe. You may like my tip for how to soften butter in a pinch!
• sugar – I use granulated sugar for this recipe. You can also use your favorite sugar substitute formulated for baking, such as Splenda.
• eggs – you’ll need two large eggs for these muffins.
• vanilla extract – I use my homemade vanilla extract (tip: it makes a delicious and great gift!), but your favorite vanilla extract works perfectly. Just make sure to use vanilla extract and not imitation vanilla flavoring, if possible. It makes a huge difference in the finished flavor, I think.
• milk – you can use whole or low-fat milk in this recipe or your favorite plant-based or dairy-free milk, such as Lactaid.
• chocolate chips – use your favorite chocolate chips for baking such as dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate.

Step by Step Instructions

• Prep. Preheat the oven to 375º F. Spray your mini-muffin tin with baker’s spray or coat well with butter and flour. Discard any excess from from the tins after coating them.
• Sift dry ingredients. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar and egg. Cream together the butter and sugar until lightened in color, about 3 minutes. Add an egg, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract.
• Fold. Fold flour mixture into creamed butter mixture. Alternate with milk. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Scoop, bake and serve. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling 2/3 to 3/4 full. Bake until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in muffin tin before removing for serving.

I hope you and your family and friends enjoy these chocolate chip muffins as much as we do! They are perfect for everything from breakfast to snacks to bridal showers!
