Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Chip Muffins
There’s just something about a warm muffin bursting with chocolate that makes any day brighter. These muffins bake up soft and tender inside with a golden top that’s slightly crisp. Using melted butter instead of oil gives them a rich flavor, while plenty of chocolate chips ensure every bite is indulgent.
If you’ve ever grabbed a muffin from a coffee shop and thought, I wish I could make these at home, this is the recipe for you! Not only are they simple to whip up, but they use basic pantry staples you probably already have.

FAQ
Can I make these muffins ahead of time?
Yes! Store cooled muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Can I use mini chocolate chips?
Absolutely—mini chips spread more evenly throughout the muffin.
What can I substitute for milk?
Any dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk works well.

- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with olive oil.

- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined—do not overmix.
- Fill muffin tin: Scoop batter evenly into the 6 cups (it should use all of the batter).
