Chocolate Chip Muffin Tops are what I like to call Muffin Cookies. They are scooped and baked like cookies but have the taste and texture of muffins. Light, fluffy and full of mini chocolate chips. These are perfect for brunch or dessert!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tbsp butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until well combined.
  • Add in the egg and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt. At this point, the 'batter' should resemble a packaged muffin mix. It will be very very dry.
  • Slowly add in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop the batter onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • The muffin tops will spread, be sure to leave space on the pan for them to spread!
  • Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until they bounce back when touched.
  • Cool for a few minutes before serving. Can be served hot or cold. Store in an airtight container.

JUMBO LARGE TOP CHOCOLATE CHIP (OR BLUEBERRY) MUFFINS



Jumbo Large Top Chocolate Chip (Or Blueberry) Muffins image

Sometimes regular sized muffins just aren't good enough. This recipe is already doubled, and for use in a jumbo muffin tin that holds 6 muffins. These are for large topped muffins, so each section will be filled to the top. The photos I provided have decorative green sugar on top of the chocolate chip muffins. It was all I had on hand and is bigger then normal sugar. The other photos are of Blueberry muffins.

Time 39m

Yield 6 Muffins, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil (tad overflowing from cup)
1 cup milk (tad overflowing from cup)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (do not add for blueberry muffins)
3 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or a small bag of frozen blueberries)
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix eggs, oil, milk, sugar and extract (remember no extract if you are making blueberry muffins. It will be too moist) together on medium speed with a mixer. I add a little extra of the oil and milk so the muffin isn't too dry. Just a little overflowing from the cups. (again, not needed if you are making blueberry muffins.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in other bowl.
  • Combine and mix with mixer.
  • Once all mixed together add Chocolate Chips and mix with spoon. The 1 1/4 cup may sound like a lot but it really isn't. Add nuts if you wish. Make sure its mixed well. (here is where you add blueberries if you wish to make blueberry muffins. Don't add too many ore they'll be kinda gross).
  • Fill each cup ALL the way to the top for a bigger topped muffin.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 29 minutes.

Tips for Making Perfect Chocolate Muffin Tops

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the muffins will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help the muffins rise quickly and develop a crispy top.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle and prevent them from falling apart.
