Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra moist muffins, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the wet ingredients.
If you prefer more chocolate, add an extra 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
