# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Add-ins
10 - 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the whole milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and pure vanilla extract.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
05 - Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving a small quantity to sprinkle on top of the muffins.
06 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
07 - Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They&re incredibly forgiving and come together in a flash, perfect for those mornings when you crave something special but are short on time.
- The way the chocolate chips get all gooey and molten inside, especially when they&re fresh from the oven, is pure bliss&it&s like a warm hug in muffin form.
02 -
- Never, ever overmix your muffin batter; it leads to tough, chewy muffins instead of light, airy ones.
- Reserving a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top before baking makes them look so much more appealing, giving that classic bakery-style finish.
03 -
- Using paper liners makes cleanup a breeze and ensures your muffins never stick, saving you from a sticky mess.
- Always measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and then leveling it off, rather than scooping directly from the bag, to avoid dense muffins.
