Ingredients:
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 cups | All-purpose flour |
1/3 cup | Light brown sugar |
1/3 cup | Sugar |
2 tsp | Baking powder |
1/2 tsp | Salt |
2/3 cup | Milk |
1/2 cup | Butter, melted |
2 | Eggs |
1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
1/2 cup | Chocolate chips |
1 cup | Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise perfectly.
-
Grease muffin cups: Grease twelve muffin cups with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps in the batter are okay.
-
Add chocolate chips and nuts: Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts into the batter until evenly distributed. This adds bursts of flavor and texture to every bite!
-
Fill muffin cups: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and slightly springy to the touch.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them individually to finish cooling on the wire rack.
-
Serve: Serve the chocolate chip muffins warm for a comforting treat, or let them cool completely for a delicious snack any time of the day.
-
Storage: These muffins freeze exceptionally well. Simply store them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or reheat in the microwave for a quick and tasty treat!
With their moist, tender crumb and bursts of chocolatey goodness, these Chocolate Chip Muffins are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy them for breakfast, as a snack, or as a sweet ending to any meal. Happy baking! 🧁🍫
