I recently needed a homemade treat for Teacher Appreciation at my child's school. I was inspired by a recipe I saw on www.littlesweetbaker.com and decided to bake some chocolate chip muffins for "there's muffin like a great teacher" and they were a hit. Many compliments from the teachers. They are very simple to make and packed full of chocolate chips. A great muffin to share or keep all to yourself. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose, unbleached flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt, if using unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Slowly add to bowl of dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 of the way. Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes and then reduce the heat to 375 degrees. Bake 13-15 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool 5-10 minutes before enjoying warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container. Enjoy!
