Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Add-ins

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to create a non-stick surface for easy muffin removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar to ensure even rising and balanced sweetness.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined to add moisture and tenderness.
  4. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula just until combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy to keep muffins light and airy; avoid overmixing.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter, creating melty pockets of chocolate in every muffin.
  6. Fill the Muffin Tin and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use eggs and milk at room temperature for better mixing and rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate chips for superior flavor and melt.
  • Always check baking powder freshness for optimal fluffiness.
  • Cool muffins completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
