Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, and eggs until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins for a bakery-style appearance.
- Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For best texture and flavor, serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Always use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture and taste.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep muffins tender.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for more even mixing and better rise.
- For extra bakery-style appearance, sprinkle some chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
- Let muffins cool slightly in the pan to help them set and prevent crumbling.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
- For maximum flavor, serve warm or slightly heated.
