How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Lightly grease the muffin liners with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ½ cup sugar, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
