Chocolate Chip Muffins

If you want a classic and simple chocolate chip muffin this recipe here is my go-to! 

Ingredients Needed 

Flour, Baking Powder, Salt – I used all-purpose flour for these muffins. The flour works great at blending up! You will also add in baking powder and salt. The baking powder will help muffins rise. 

Butter – I used unsalted butter. Now if you use salted butter, just omit the salt in the recipe if you use the salted butter to mix up. 

Sugar, Milk, and Eggs – Sugar and eggs will cream with the butter to be the liquid base for the muffins. Granulated sugar is what I used for sweetener in the recipe. 

Vanilla – Vanilla is a wonderful way to add depth to the chocolate chip muffin recipe. You can buy your favorite brand or make homemade vanilla. 

Chocolate Chips – We opted for semi-sweet chocolate chips. If you want you can easily swap with dark chocolate or milk chocolate in replace. It is all about flavor preference. 

Helpful Tools 

• Muffin Pan 
• Scoop – great for scooping up the batter to pour into the pan. 
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cooling rack – great for cooling muffins 

How to Know When Muffins Are Done 

Take a toothpick and stick in the center of the muffin and lift it out and if it is free of dough the muffins are done. Otherwise, you need to bake another minute or two. 

Can You Freeze Muffins 

These homemade muffins freeze beautifully. Simply place your muffins in a freezer bag or container and freeze for 3-4 months. Thaw on the counter or even the fridge when you are ready to eat. 

If you toss in the microwave only heat for 5-10 seconds or the chocolate chips will begin to burn. 

Does This Recipe Double Well 

Go right ahead and double this recipe if you would like. I love making a large batch of muffins and then freeze a good part of them. They are awesome for freezing and serving. 

Or, if you want to serve a larger crowd, you can double the recipe and serve them up right away. 

Variations to Recipe 

• Use milk chocolate chips or another type of chops to replace of semi-sweet. 
• Can use nuts for a crunch 
• Toss in 1/4 cup of fruit like blueberries, diced strawberries, etc. 
• You can create a muffin crumble to sprinkle on top if you want. 
• Etc
