Today we’re talking about one of my favorite desserts, Chocolate Chip Muffins. With a soft, moist crumb and plenty of melty chocolate chips in every bite, these muffins are a true comfort food. Whether you’re enjoying them for breakfast, as an afternoon treat, or as a sweet snack on the go, they never fail to satisfy. The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make, using simple ingredients you likely already have in the kitchen!
Chocolate Chip Muffins are a bakery staple, but you can easily get those same bakery-style results at home. Using a mix of regular and mini chocolate chips guarantees that every bite is packed with chocolatey goodness. Also, starting at a higher oven temperature then lowering will ensure a perfectly domed top.
