Equipment
- Muffin pan (I tested 8 and this was the winner, see note 1)
Ingredients
For the chocolate chip muffins:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (see note 2)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan with cupcake liners or generously grease. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg until smooth. Add the oil, milk, and vanilla, and whisk until combined. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until combined. (Dough will be lumpy.) Fold in chocolate chips.
- Fill prepared muffin cups with batter. Bake until muffin centers bounce back when lightly pressed, about 18 to 22 minutes. Cool muffins on a rack for several minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely and store in an airtight container, up to 4 days.
Notes
- Muffin pan: I personally tested 8 different muffin pans in my home kitchen to figure out which one worked the best. My favorite was the USA Pan 12-Cup Nonstick Muffin pan. It effortlessly released muffins and cupcakes without paper liners, even when they were still warm, and the coating is made from non-toxic silicone. Learn more in my post about The Best Muffin Pans.
- Chocolate chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are classic, but you can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even mini chips or chocolate chunks.
- Yield: My Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe creates 12 regular-sized muffins.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
