Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter evenly without overworking the mixture.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool slightly in the tin before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style appearance and added chocolatey bites.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins soft and tender; some lumps are okay.
