How to Make Basic Chocolate Chip Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
