Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking while baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined, ensuring your muffins will rise and have balanced sweetness.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then stir in milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and mix gently just until combined—it’s important not to overmix or the muffins will turn dense. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly for that signature, delightful chocolate burst.
  5. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few crumbs attached.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm for melty chocolate goodness.

Notes

  • Measure flour carefully: Spoon and level your flour to avoid dense muffins caused by too much flour.
  • Don’t overmix: Mix ingredients just until combined to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
  • Use room temperature eggs and milk: Helps the batter blend smoothly and rise better.
  • Chill your chocolate chips: Prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.
  • Test for doneness early: Begin checking your muffins at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out.
