Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
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, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the wet ingredients.
If you prefer larger chocolate chunks, use chopped chocolate bars instead of chips.
To prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom, toss them with a tablespoon of the dry flour mixture before adding them to the batter.
