Chocolate Chip Muffin

Here's a chocolate chip muffin recipe designed to rival Tim Hortons with its rich flavor and moist texture: Buttermilk adds moisture and tang, keeping the muffins fluffy and tender. Muffin Tops: Baking at a higher temperature initially helps create that iconic dome. Extra Chips: Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top before baking for a bakery-style look.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each to the top for a generous muffin top.

Step 6

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
