About This Recipe
I grew up eating chocolate chip muffins almost every day. Our family wasn't exactly healthy, and I'm still not sure if it was because money was tight or because we just really loved muffins. But we would buy a 12-pack every week we went shopping without fail. My dad says it's because my brother loved muffins, but I think it's because they were a cheap way to fill us up.
You know how they say old habits never die? Well, I still find myself eating chocolate chip muffins weekly. But the difference now is I make them myself. Homemade muffins come out so much better than store-bought, and my recipe is super easy. They're moist, tender, and loaded with chocolate chips. Bonus: You can use whatever chocolate chips you like best- I love dark chocolate!
Key Ingredients
Flour: When you measure the flour, make sure you spoon and level it into the measuring cup. This will guarantee the most accurate measurement.
Baking powder: The main source of leavening for the muffins.
Cinnamon: I love the flavor of cinnamon in this recipe. It makes the muffins taste much more cozy.
Salt: A little bit to enhance all the flavors.
Milk: Any type of milk will work. I used whole milk today, but sometimes I use evaporated milk if I have leftovers from another recipe.
Sugar: Obviously, we need some sugar to keep these muffins sweet.
Oil: This is what gives the muffins a moist and tender crumb.
Eggs: For binding all the ingredients together.
Vanilla extract: For warm flavor.
Chocolate chips: You can use whatever chocolate chips you like best, but I highly recommend dark chocolate. They are not too sweet, and the bitterness pairs well with the muffin.
Instructions
STEP 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
STEP 2: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
STEP 3: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix...the batter should be slightly lumpy.
STEP 4: Fold in the chocolate chips.
STEP 5: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners. You can also add some extra chocolate chips on top.
STEP 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
