Ingredients You Will Need

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
• 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping, optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare the Muffin Tin

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

5. Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Fill the Muffin Cups

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle with extra sugar or chocolate chips for a bakery-style finish.

7. Bake Until Golden

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The tops should be lightly golden and slightly crisp.

8. Cool and Enjoy!

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Muffins

• Use room temperature eggs and milk for a better texture.
• Don’t overmix – mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
