Ingredients for Wicked Chocolate Chip Muffins

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk

How to Make Wicked Chocolate Chip Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the tin.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Add 1 cup chocolate chips to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 large egg, and 1 cup milk.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; 30 strokes should suffice.
  6. Fill muffin cups ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick 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. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
