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