Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour – The muffin’s backbone.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar – For sweetness without going overboard.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed – Adds depth and chewiness.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder – Fluff factor = unlocked.
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda – Bonus lift.
  • 1/2 tsp salt – Brings all the flavors together.
  • 1 cup milk – Or your favorite plant-based milk.
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil – Keeps them soft.
  • 1 large egg – The glue that holds this lovefest together.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Aroma that makes people swoon.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips – Go ahead double it if you’re feeling wild.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it. Rookie mistake: skipping this step = muffin disaster.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Easy-peasy.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat together milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine wet & dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Gently fold until just combined. Tip: a few lumps are okay—overmixing = tough muffins.
  • Fold in chocolate chips: Don’t skimp here. Make sure every bite has a happy chocolate surprise.
  • Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you’re feeling fancy.
  • Bake: 18–22 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean (bonus points if it comes out with a chocolate smudge).
  • Cool slightly: Let muffins sit for 5–10 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack. Patience, young padawan.
