Make bakery-worthy chocolate chip muffins at home with this easy recipe. These muffins are soft, fluffy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips, perfect for a quick breakfast or sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. This step helps create those fluffy chocolate chip muffins.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Pour in the milk and mix briefly. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix only until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix; this keeps your muffins tender crumb.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips over the tops of the batter for that bakery style look.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these homemade chocolate chip muffins warm.

Notes

  • For extra tall, bakery-style tops, chill the batter for 30 minutes before baking, and start the oven temperature at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for the first 5 minutes, then reduce to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for the remaining bake time.
  • You can substitute half the milk with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for even moister chocolate chip muffins.
  • This recipe works well for mini chocolate chip muffins; adjust the baking time to 10-12 minutes.
