Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra moist muffins, ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Chilling your chocolate chips before folding them into the batter can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
