Description

These classic Mom's Easy Chocolate Chip Muffins are moist and fluffy with a perfect balance of sweetness and rich chocolate chips, making them an ideal homemade treat for breakfast or snack time. The recipe is simple to follow and produces a dozen delicious muffins that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare muffin tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease the liners with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and flavorings: Beat in the 2 large eggs until fully combined. Then add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract and mix briefly until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  4. Add flour in halves: Add half of the 2 cups all-purpose flour to the bowl and mix until just combined.
  5. Incorporate milk and remaining flour: Pour in the ½ cup milk and mix gently. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add the remaining 1 cup of flour and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter to maintain muffin tenderness.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Use a rubber spatula to fold in the 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Let the muffin batter rest in the pan while the oven reaches the proper temperature.
  9. Bake muffins: Bake the muffins for 7 minutes at 425°F without opening the oven door. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 13 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Cool the muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure muffins remain tender and fluffy.
  • Using semi-sweet chocolate chips provides a classic balance of sweetness; however, you can substitute with dark or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
  • Freshly softened butter at room temperature is essential for proper creaming with sugar.
  • Muffin liners make cleanup easier and help prevent sticking.
  • Allow muffins to cool before storing to avoid sogginess.
