Chocolate Chip Muffins

Good morning all! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite breakfast treats – Chocolate Chip Muffins.

I usually have a nice sensible breakfast, like scrambled eggs and avocado toast with fruit, but sometimes I crave a sweet treat.

These Chocolate Chip Muffins are the perfect cure for that craving!

Muffins are pretty popular around here, in fact, my Strawberry Coffee Cake Muffins are the most popular recipe on this site!

But when you really want chocolate for breakfast, I promise, these cookie-like Chocolate Chip Muffins are the only thing that will do!

I say cookie-like because that’s exactly what they are.

The outside is crisp, buttery, and sweet like a cookie and the inside is a dense but soft muffin.

They’re so good!

I may be a little biased as chocolate chip cookies are kind of a weakness for me, but they are amazing.

And any excuse to have dessert for breakfast is good with me!

These muffins are pretty versatile and you can adjust the fixings however you’d like!

Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe Variations:

  • You could do all mini or all regular chocolate chips.
  • Swap out chocolate for butterscotch chips, caramel chips, white chocolate chips, or a variety of chips
  • You could add a teaspoon of coconut extract to the batter and fold do 1/2 cup shredded coconut and 1 cup chocolate chips – YUM!

How To Make Them:

  1. You’ll start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F and line muffin pan with liners and set aside.
  2. Next, in a medium bowl, you’ll whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. It is important that you use a whisk and not a wooden spoon or spatula because this process lightens the flour and makes it easier to work into the batter. Set aside.
  4. Then, in a large bowl or stand mixer, you’ll beat together the melted butter and sugar until combined.
  5. Add in the eggs one at a time mixing after each addition.
  6. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
  7. Then, you’ll add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
  9. Finally, Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure and add batter to each muffin liner and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.

    Hi Denise, I’m sorry to hear that these muffins didn’t turn out for you. This was a post from another blogger that was contributed to my blog, I have never tried it myself but will put it at the top of my list for retesting. Can you tell me what it was that made them not turn out? Sunken centers? Flavor?

    My wife just made this last night and it turned out great! She improvised a bit & made a 2nd batch with some peanut butter.

    They are perfect for breakfast, too. Yummy.
    Thanks for the great idea!

    I like the fact that these have a vanilla base rather than a chocolate one. It’s not that I am against chocolate, but sometimes, it is nice to have something different.
