These chocolate chip muffins are easy to make and taste amazing. A great crunch on the outside with a soft fluffy inside and loads of chocolate chips!

How I created this Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

School is about to start for my 5 kids yet again and this year even earlier than ever before. We are NOT morning people so I’ve been looking for some make ahead options for breakfast.

My kids adore muffins, so it seemed like a good route to go. Chocolate chip muffins are an easy one that we all agree on. We also like almond poppy seed muffins (I use this poppy seed Texas sheet cake for muffins).

It took a few rounds to get these muffins just right. Light and fluffy with a lite crunch on the outside and an amazing flavor!

I tweaked the recipe so much from the original. I added a little bit of spice, figured out the right texture of the final batter and oven times!

Just take me to the Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe already!

If you’d rather skip my tips and tricks for muffins, along with links to other bread recipes and get straight to this delicious recipe – simply scroll to the bottom of the page where you can find the printable recipe card.

Tips to Make Homemade Muffins

– The biggest tip I can give you is to not over mix the batter! If you use a mixer don’t use it for the final mix, pull out a spoon or spatula and barely mix. It should still have lumps and ribbons of the dry flour when you scoop the batter into the pan.

– Add extra Chocolate chips to the top of the muffin batter before baking if you want chocolate chips on the top of the muffins, otherwise they get buried in the batter.

– I also like to add some coarse sugar to the top for an added sweet crunch to the muffins.

– Preheat the oven to 375 and bake for 5 mins, then lower the temp to 350 and bake the rest of the time, 12-15 mins. You can bake them the whole time at 350 if you want, but I like the crunch the 5 min at a higher heat gives them.

– Use muffin liners if you want, or use a really good non stick spray like Bakers Joy.

To make these Chocolate Chip Muffins you’ll need

  • Mixer – like my beloved Bosch
  • Muffin tin – I use this large 24 cups pan but two 12 cups pans work
  • Some kind of non stick spray – I like Bakers Joy
  • Large cookie scoop for batter
  • Coarse Turbinado Sugar or coarse Sugar Crystals

    I made the cho chip muffins and No-one liked the spices: cinnamon and nutmeg. I am definitely going to make them again because we loved the recipe but I will omit spices just add some nuts. The recipe was excellent….

      sorry the spices were a hit, they are a family favorite, but obviously not necessary to the recipe!
