Ingredient Notes

A simple list of pantry and refrigerator staples will create the most delicious Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Flour-The foundation for these chocolate chip muffins, all purpose flour is a pantry staple and perfect for this batter

Leavening Agent-Using both baking powder and baking soda will create a perfect amount of rise for the muffins

Sugar-Light brown sugar to sweeten the muffins. You can also use half granulated sugar and half light brown sugar.

Butter-Melted butter will produce a moist and tender muffin

Eggs- Eggs add moisture and will bring the batter together

Sour Cream- Sour cream adds a great amount of moisture and flavor to the muffins. If you don't have sour cream you can also use greek yogurt and have great results.

Chocolate Chips- The star ingredient to the chocolate chip muffins! I love using mini chocolate chips for this muffin because every bite gets a bit of chocolate.

Step-by-Step Directions

In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs and sour cream until smooth and creamy
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully combined
Fold the mini chocolate chips into the muffin batter
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pans to fill completely (these will be large muffins, if you want smaller muffins only fill ¾ full and bake for less time)
Sprinkle the top of the muffins with a few extra mini chocolate chips and sugar in the raw
Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes
Enjoy the muffins warm!

Tips To Make The Best Chocolate Chip Muffins

Room Temperature Ingredients
It is very important to have room temperature ingredients to ensure that everything mixes together. Remove the ingredients about 30 minutes before you are getting ready to mix and bake.

Don't Over Mix
This batter is very tender and moist, but over mixing the batter will create a tougher texture and will not bake to be as light and fluffy as they are.

Muffin Size
Filling the muffin pan full will create a beautiful large bakery style muffin with a big top. If you don't want a large muffin or want to stretch the batter a little further, you can fill the batter only ¾ full for 12 muffins and bake for less time.
