Categories     Quick Breads

Time 25m

Yield 12-18 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup light-brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (11 1/2 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Grease twelve muffin cups.
  • In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, stir together milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla until blended.
  • Make a well in center of dry ingredients.
  • Add milk mixture and stir just to combine.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
  • Now bake for 15-20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center of one muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove muffin tin to wire rack.
  • Cool for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from tins to finish cooling.
  • Serve warm or completely cool.
  • These muffins freeze well.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: Room temperature ingredients, like butter, eggs, and milk, blend together better and create a smoother batter.
  • Measure ingredients accurately: Using the correct amount of ingredients is crucial for the success of your muffins. Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure accuracy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently: Folding in the chocolate chips gently prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Preheat the oven and muffin tins: Preheat the oven and muffin tins before filling them with the batter. This helps the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking can dry out the muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Allowing the muffins to cool for a few minutes before serving gives them time to set and makes them easier to handle.
