Equipment
- Muffin Tin: To bake your muffins evenly and give them that perfect rounded top. A 12-cup nonstick muffin tin works best.
- Mixing Bowls: You’ll need one large bowl for your dry ingredients and one medium bowl for your wet ingredients.
- Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements are key to perfect texture and rise in baking.
- Spatula or Wooden Spoon: For gently mixing the batter without overworking it. A flexible silicone spatula is ideal.
- Wire Cooling Rack: Allows air to circulate around the muffins as they cool, preventing soggy bottoms and preserving texture.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 Cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp Baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 Cup Milk (whole or buttermilk)
- 1/2 Cup Vegetable oil
- 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Mix dry ingredients:In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined.
- Add chocolate chips:Stir in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Prepare wet ingredients:In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients:Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Mix until just combined – be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin tin:Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. This ensures they have room to rise without overflowing.
- Bake:Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool:Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
