Scale
For the Muffins:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt (optional for added moisture)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray. - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy. - Add Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. - Fill Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. - Bake:
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
