Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (Melted)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• Salt (Pinch)
• 1 tbsp Vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract (Use either vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract)
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs (Room temperature)
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (Plus more for sprinkling on top)
• 1 cup Whole milk (Room temperature)
• 1 tbsp Vinegar (Added to the milk; let the mixture stand until curdled)
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (Room temperature)
• 2 tbsp Neutral oil

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining the cups or greasing them.

2. 2

   In a glass, combine the room-temperature milk and vinegar. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, or until it curdles.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until well combined.

4. 4

   Add the room-temperature eggs and whisk for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture is pale in color.

5. 5

   Add the milk mixture, vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and neutral oil. Mix until well combined.

6. 6

   In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.

7. 7

   Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix the batter.

8. 8

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips over the tops, as desired.

9. 9

   Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes. Without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C).

10. 10

    Continue baking for an additional 13–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

11. 11

    Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
