Chocolate Chip Muffins
This is my go-to recipe for muffins 
i have alternated chocolate chips with chopped apple, plum jelly, and plain and they always come out perfect! A little note though, they taste even better if you bake and cool them before bedtime and leave them on the counter with a plastic bag over. Thanks again for this awesome recipe
i have alternated chocolate chips with chopped apple, plum jelly, and plain and they always come out perfect! A little note though, they taste even better if you bake and cool them before bedtime and leave them on the counter with a plastic bag over. Thanks again for this awesome recipe- Besides flavor and texture, you’ll appreciate the simple ingredient list. You only need a few basic ingredients to make absolutely awesome chocolate chip muffins. Each ingredient is important and transforms boring muffins into bakery-style chocolate chip muffins!
- Flour: Flour is the foundation of these chocolate chip muffins muffins; we need a thick batter to hold all of the chocolate chips.
- Baking Powder: 4 teaspoons of baking powder? Yes. A lot of baking powder is required to create a significant rise against all of the wet ingredients. The baking powder helps create their signature high-domed top.
- Cinnamon & Nutmeg: Cinnamon is a muffin’s favorite spice. You only need a small pinch of nutmeg, too. I promise you that nutmeg is what most chocolate chip muffin recipes are missing. You’ll never go back!
- Vanilla Extract & Salt: Both are used for flavor.
- Eggs: Eggs add moisture and bind everything together.
- Sugar: Use granulated sugar to sweeten these muffins.
- Oil: Oil produces a moist, tender muffin. These days I combine a little melted butter and oil. See my recipe note.
- Milk: Milk adds plenty of moisture and lightens up the crumb.
- Chocolate Chips: These wouldn’t be chocolate chip muffins without chocolate chips!
- Coarse Sprinkling Sugar: My secret ingredient used for sparkle and crunch on top.
