How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins
This chocolate chip muffins recipe very easy. The batter comes together in minutes. Mix the wet ingredients and dry ingredients separately by hand, then combine them. The batter is a bit thick and lump because muffins are more denser than cupcakes. The thick batter allows to hold in the chocolate chips and prevents them from sitting at the bottom.
Plain Flour
Chocolate chips – I prefer to use dark chocolate chips for a rich chocolate flavor, You can use milk chocolate chips or mix of both
Butter – Melted butter cooled at room temperature.
Oil – oil helps cakes and muffins stay soft and moist. Use any neutral tasting oil like canola oil, vegetable oil or grapeseed oil
Milk – Use full cream milk. You can also use butter milk.
Eggs – 2 large eggs at room temperature.
Salt – salt is important for enhancing the sweetness.
Baking powder and baking soda – you need both to help rise.
Tips for perfect Muffins
- Measure the flour, don’t scoop it in from the jar. Spoon it in and level it off.
- Right amount of baking soda and baking powder are required to create that crusty top and moist fluffy muffin inside. Therefore measure them carefully and make sure your Baking powder is not out date !
- Ensure melted butter, milk and eggs all are at room temperature to avoid curdling.
- Don’t over mix the batter, lumpy better = fluffy muffins.
- Don’t open oven door, as it may cause the muffins to deflate.
