Bake the best homemade chocolate chip muffins that taste just like they came from a professional bakery. This easy recipe delivers perfectly tall, domed tops, a soft texture, and is loaded with melty chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, milk (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes muffins tough.
  5. Gently fold in 1 1/4 cups of the chocolate chips. Save the remaining 1/4 cup for topping.
  6. For tall, domed tops, fill each muffin cup nearly to the top (about 3/4 full). Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top of the batter in each cup.
  7. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This initial high heat helps create the dome.
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these moist chocolate chip muffins!

Notes

  • For the fluffiest muffins, make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature before mixing.
  • To achieve that bakery-style height, use the two-temperature baking method described in the instructions.
  • If you want an extra sweet top, sprinkle a little coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
