Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra chocolatey muffins, you can add a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
- If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the granulated sugar slightly.
- To ensure even chip distribution, toss the chocolate chips with a tablespoon of the flour mixture before adding them to the batter.
