How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe
So… not sure what chocolate chips to buy? The answer is any chips you like!
We love dark chocolate and semi sweet/bittersweet. But you can use what you have or choose your favorite! Here’s a guide to help you in your important chocolate choices…
Different Chocolate Chips for Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix:
- Milk Chocolate- Is VERY sweet and will have the highest calorie/sugar/fat content.
- Dark Chocolate- Is the next step up, and they are snack-able… though that might be a bad thing.
- Semi-Sweet- Will have less sugar and dairy than milk or dark chocolate. It’s a good option if you’re looking to cut calories
- Bittersweet- Is similar to semi-sweet, but with less sugar. It’s not snack-able (which might be a good thing).
We love Semi-Sweet chocolate chips… just sweet enough, and snack-able without adding too much sugar or dairy.
Special Note– You can find Vegan chocolate chips at most stores!
How to Make Homemade Muffins Chocolate Chip:
- Preheat oven to 350°, and spray muffin pans with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the “dry ingredients” the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- To a separate medium bowl, whisk together the “wet ingredients” the eggs, vanilla, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and applesauce.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and add the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to top the muffins with.
- Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together, until just combined.
- Fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full of chocolate chip muffin batter, and add more chocolate chips to the tops.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the chocolate chip muffin comes out clean.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or cool and move to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
