Total Time: 28 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that the muffins bake evenly and rise properly.
- Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed and free of lumps.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 large egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Once the batter is just combined, fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your freshly baked buttermilk chocolate chip muffins warm or at room temperature!
Tips
- 🔑 Pro Baking Tips for Perfect Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Muffins:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your buttermilk, egg, and other ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and a more consistent texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the batter just until ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense muffins.
- Chocolate Chip Trick: Toss chocolate chips in a little flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Even Baking: Use an ice cream scoop for uniform muffin sizes and more consistent baking.
- Check for Doneness: A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Storage Hack: These muffins stay fresh in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to a month for later enjoyment!
