Ingredients
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: 16 minutes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour – see How to Measure Flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar – light or dark brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt – Reduce or omit if using salted butter.
- ⅔ cup milk
- ½ cup melted butter – We used unsalted butter, but salted can be used.
- 2 large eggs – Room temperature eggs incorporate best.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 (12-ounce) bag milk chocolate chips – dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips, or a mixture
- sugar to sprinkle – regular or coarse sugar
How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins
- PREP. Preheat oven to 400°F
- BATTER. In a medium bowl mix 2 cups flour, ⅓ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, beat ⅔ cup milk, ½ cup melted butter, 2 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla until well combined. Add dry ingredients and beat until just combined – do not over-mix.
- Fold in 1 bag of chocolate chips.
- BAKE. Spoon into a muffin tin filled with cupcake liners. Fill them to about ⅔ full. Sprinkle tops with sugar and bake for 16-18 minutes.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. When it comes out clean or with a few crumbs they are done. Allow the muffins to cool a bit in the pan before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Different-Sized Chocolate Chip Muffins
- For jumbo muffins bake for 5 minutes at 425°F and then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 20-25 minutes.
- For mini muffins bake for only 10-12 minutes at 350°F. You may wish to use mini chocolate chips. (Times may vary slightly depending on your oven.)

Recipe FAQ
Store (along with a paper towel to avoid sticky tops) at room temperature for 2-3 days, or in the fridge for 5-7 days.
Place the muffins in a single layer in a freezer Ziploc, remove as much air as possible (we like to use a straw), and freeze for up to 3 months.

One of my favorite muffin recipes. Made them several times, and semi sweet chips work well too.
