Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Ingredient:
- 1 cup (180 grams) chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and set up a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend flour, granulated sugar, leavening agents, and salt using a whisk until perfectly integrated.
- Whisk milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate container until the liquid mixture becomes uniform and silky.
- Gently incorporate wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring minimally to prevent overmixing. Delicately fold chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully portion the batter into muffin cups, filling each approximately three-quarters full. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips atop each muffin for enhanced visual appeal and flavor.
- Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean with minimal crumbs.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let them rest in the tin for 5 minutes, allowing them to set. Carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack to reach room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stop stirring as soon as the dry and wet ingredients are just combined to keep muffins tender and fluffy, avoiding a tough, dense texture.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution: Toss chocolate chips in a little flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Swap all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version, or use whole wheat flour for added nutrition and nutty flavor.
- Temperature Trick: Let wet ingredients like eggs and milk come to room temperature before mixing to ensure better ingredient integration and more consistent muffin texture.
