Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Fresh ingredients = better flavor.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar You can use brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 large egg Use room temperature ingredients for a better rise.
  • 1 cup milk You can use almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Dark chocolate chips add a richer taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay—avoid overmixing!
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Time-saver: Prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate it to save time in the morning. Common mistake: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins; stir gently! Variation: Try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm spice twist.
