My son has always been a chocolate chip fanatic. Add chocolate chips to his pancakes , waffles , milk shakes, and just about anything else and he’s ready to give it a try! For a while now, we’ve been making these little chocolate chip muffins that are just the right size to go along with a bowl of fruit for breakfast or even to grab for an afternoon snack.
Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
These chocolate chip muffins are a perfect breakfast and brunch treat and always a hit for snacks like I mentioned. I have made them for showers many times too and they are always a favorite! And these made from scratch muffins couldn’t be any easier or more delicious!
Here’s how I make them.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
- flour – I used all-purpose flour for these muffins.
- baking powder – baking powder is used in this recipe to help the muffins rise when baking.
- salt
- butter – I use unsalted, softened butter for this recipe. You may like my tip for how to soften butter in a pinch!
- sugar – I use granulated sugar for this recipe. You can also use your favorite sugar substitute formulated for baking, such as Splenda.
- eggs – you’ll need two large eggs for these muffins.
- vanilla extract – I use my homemade vanilla extract (tip: it makes a delicious and great gift!), but your favorite vanilla extract works perfectly. Just make sure to use vanilla extract and not imitation vanilla flavoring, if possible. It makes a huge difference in the finished flavor, I think.
- milk – you can use whole or low-fat milk in this recipe or your favorite plant-based or dairy-free milk, such as Lactaid.
- chocolate chips – use your favorite chocolate chips for baking such as dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate.
Step by Step Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375º F. Spray your mini-muffin tin with baker’s spray or coat well with butter and flour. Discard any excess from from the tins after coating them.
- Sift dry ingredients. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar and egg. Cream together the butter and sugar until lightened in color, about 3 minutes. Add an egg, one at a time, being sure to fully incorporate before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Fold. Fold flour mixture into creamed butter mixture. Alternate with milk. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop, bake and serve. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling 2/3 to 3/4 full. Bake until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in muffin tin before removing for serving.
I hope you and your family and friends enjoy these chocolate chip muffins as much as we do! They are perfect for everything from breakfast to snacks to bridal showers!
