Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper muffin cups. Measure out all your ingredients to streamline the baking process.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Bring Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
- Add the Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips carefully so they are evenly distributed without overworking the batter.
- Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs sticking to it.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to create a smooth, uniform batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter; stir until ingredients are just incorporated to avoid dense muffins.
- Measure flour correctly by spooning and leveling to prevent heavy batter.
- Check oven temperature with an oven thermometer for even baking.
- Add chocolate chips last and fold gently to preserve their shape and distribution.
