Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 4-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined – don’t overmix.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Pour in the milk and use a spoon to gently distribute it throughout the batter.

Pop the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.

Don’t overmix the batter – it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy.

If you want a crispy top on your muffins, sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on top of each muffin before baking.

These muffins are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

You can also customize this recipe by adding nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top of the muffins.

To ensure even baking, make sure the muffin tin is level and the oven is at the correct temperature.
