A recipe for moist, fluffy chocolate chip muffins featuring tall dome tops and a slightly crunchy crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips over the tops of the batter.
  7. Sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly over the tops of the unbaked muffins.
  8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This initial high heat helps create the dome.
  9. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the tallest domes, ensure your milk and egg are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Do not open the oven door during the first 10 minutes of baking.
  • You can substitute half the chocolate chips with dark chocolate chunks for a richer flavor.
