<\/p>\nThese Chocolate Chip Muffins are incredibly soft, moist, and jam-packed with chocolate chips. These muffins are perfect for an easy breakfast that you can make ahead of time and they freeze beautifully too!<\/i><\/p>\n

Over the last year I’ve had quite a few requests for more muffin recipes on my site. So far this year, I’ve shared these lemon poppy seed muffins<\/a> and these banana muffins<\/a>, so today I’m sharing another one – my homemade chocolate chip muffins!<\/p>\n Not only is this muffin recipe incredibly easy to make but it makes a great muffin base too. I’ve also included several different ways that you can change up these chocolate chip muffins to really make them your own.<\/p>\n Not to mention these muffins taste amazing too, they’re almost like a chocolate chip cookie in muffin form!<\/p>\n To make these chocolate chip muffins, you’ll start out by letting your ingredients come to room temperature and preheating your oven temperature to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). By using a slightly higher oven temperature, your muffins will rise taller in the oven. Next, you’ll mix up your batter. Here’s a simple breakdown for how to make the muffin batter:<\/p>\n Once you’re finished preparing the batter, you’ll line a 12-count muffin pan with liners. Next, you’ll scoop the batter into the liners filling each one all the way to the top. It will seem like a lot of batter, but this is another way to getting taller muffins and those beautiful muffin tops.<\/p>\n Once the batter is divided between all 12 liners, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top, then bake the muffins. I find that somewhere around 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time.<\/p>\n Once the muffins are baked and cooled, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, I suggest freezing them.<\/p>\n To freeze the muffins, store them in a freezer bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can thaw the muffins to room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy them or reheat frozen muffins in the microwave for about 30 seconds.<\/p>\n This muffin recipe is incredibly versatile and makes a great base for other muffins too.
