Chocolate Chip Muffins are the perfect balance of sweet, soft, and fluffy, making them an ideal treat for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even dessert. Packed with melty chocolate chips, these muffins are a comforting indulgence that’s easy to make and sure to please everyone.
To start, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and a touch of sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients, including eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. The melted butter adds richness and moisture, ensuring a tender muffin texture. Next, fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Gently stir in a generous handful of chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Scoop the batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. For an extra touch, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking to ensure each bite has a little extra chocolatey goodness. Bake the muffins at 350°F (175°C) for about 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the muffins cool for a few minutes before enjoying. The result is a batch of Chocolate Chip Muffins that are light, fluffy, and full of gooey, melted chocolate chips in every bite.
These muffins are perfect on their own or paired with a cup of coffee or milk. Whether you’re serving them for breakfast, as an afternoon snack, or as part of a brunch spread, Chocolate Chip Muffins are a delicious and comforting treat that will quickly become a family favorite!

I don’t trust recipes that use so much sugar. Why not just use bananas instead? Much healthier! 😒
Why is everyone so obsessed with choc chips?? I used raisins instead, way better!
These muffins are amazing! They turned out so fluffy and sweet! Definitely a keeper.
So easy to make! My kids helped and they loved eating them. Definitely going to try adding nuts next time.
That’s awesome! My kids love it when they can help in the kitchen too. Nuts sound like a tasty addition!
They were okay, but mine didn’t rise much. Maybe I messed up somewhere?
I don’t think it was you. I had the same issue! Maybe the baking powder was old or somethin’. Anyway, they still tasted good!
Don’t worry! Baking can be tricky sometimes. Did you make sure to measure everything correctly? That can really affect how they rise.
Not great. They were dry and tasteless. Might need more sugar or something.
Muffins! YUM! 🍫
Too sweet for my taste! I think I will cut down the sugar next time.
Yum yum!!! Best muffin recipe ever!!
Are you sure they’re the best? I tried similar ones and they turned out dry. 🤔
I totally agree! These muffins are a game-changer. Can’t stop eating them!
I don’t think milk is good for this recipe! I used yogurt instead, worked fine.
Easy to make, even I could do it! 😁
That’s awesome! I love how simple this is. Can’t wait to try it! 😍
I was skeptical at first, but these actually turned out great! Just remember not to overmix.
These muffins are fantastic! I made them for a brunch and everyone loved them.
meh… not impressed. I guess it’s hard to mess up muffins but also hard to be wowed.
I totally get what you mean! Muffins are usually so basic, but they can be a nice treat if done right. Maybe try adding some spices or nuts next time?
Nah, I think muffins can be great! Especially if you load them up with chocolate like this recipe. Can’t go wrong with that! 🍫
I followed the recipe but my muffins turned out flat. What did I do wrong?
Maybe your baking powder was old? That can make them flat. Make sure it’s fresh next time!
Good recipe but I think the measurements are off. I always double-check with other recipes.
Not bad, but kinda basic. I expected more flavor. Might try adding some cinnamon next time.
Muffins? I thought we were making pancakes. Oh well, still good I guess.
These muffins are amazing! I made them for my kids, and they devoured them in minutes. Definitely a keeper!
These muffins turned out amazing! Super fluffy and just the right amount of chocolate. My family devoured them in minutes!
Glad to hear! I love a good muffin. They sound delicious! Can’t wait to try this myself!
Tell me why my muffins didn’t cook in the middle? I followed the timer exactly! 🤔
Maybe your oven temperature is off? I used a thermometer once to check mine, and it was 25 degrees too hot! 😅
Chocolate chips, really? Could’ve used more flavor. I expected better.
What? More flavor? These muffins are perfect! Maybe you just don’t know good baked goods.
I loved the chocolate chips! Maybe try adding nuts or cinnamon for extra flavor next time?
Chocolate muffins, yes please! 😍
I can’t wait to try these! Chocolate muffins are my weakness! ❤️
Are they really that good? I tried a recipe once and they came out dry. Maybe I did something wrong. 🤔
Yum! I added some walnuts to the mix and it was a game changer! Will definitely use this recipe again.
These are the best muffins ever!!! My kids loved them and begged for more. Thanks for sharing!
I replaced the sugar with honey for a healthier option but they didn’t rise as much. Still tasty though!
I’ve heard that honey can make things dense. Maybe that’s why they didn’t rise? But hey, at least they taste good! That’s what really matters.
You did what? I thought sugar was super important for rising! I dunno, sounds like it might not be worth it to me. But glad you still liked them!
I followed the recipe but mine came out kinda dry. What did I do wrong?
I followed the recipe but mine came out too dry. Maybe I added too much flour? Not sure I’ll make them again.
Chocolate chips in muffins? Genius! Could eat these for breakfast every day.
These muffins turned out fantastic! So moist and the chocolate chips are heavenly!
Too much flour, I think? Just my opinion. Anyone else feel that way?
I actually think the amount of flour is just fine! The muffins turn out great with this recipe. Maybe try it before changing anything!
IDK, I tried this recipe last week and my muffins came out dense. I think the flour was too much for sure.
Not bad, but I think it needs more sugar. Tasted kinda plain to me.
Yum! But why you gotta put milk in muffins? I’m not a fan of milk. Will try without it.
So easy to make! I subbed applesauce for oil and added walnuts, and they turned out great! Yum!
Muffins are ok, but I prefer cupcakes…more sugar!!
I tried this recipe, and the muffins came out too dry. Maybe I overcooked them? Not sure I’ll make them again.
These muffins turned out amazing! So fluffy and chocolatey. Definitely a new favorite!
Are you sure about the oven temp? Seems high. I usually bake at 350°F.
Muffins + chocolate = best combo. Just wow!!
Very easy to make! I added nuts for some crunch. Yum!
I love that you added nuts! It makes everything better. Can’t wait to try it!
Seems easy, but what if the muffins turn out dry? I’m skeptical about adding nuts too.
Wow, just wow! Best chocolate chip muffins ever! 🧁
These muffins are amazing! Fluffy and chocolaty, just how I like them!
I totally agree! These muffins are the best! Can’t wait to make them again!
Easy to make but I didn’t have any chocolate chips, so I added raisins instead. 😅
I’ve never baked before but these were sooo easy! Thanks for the detailed steps!
Yum! My kids loved them. Definitely gonna make these again!
YES!!! Muffin madness! 🍫🧁
Just made these and they’re gone already! Family gobbled them up. 10/10 would make again!
10/10? Really? I mean, they look good, but how can muffins be that amazing? 🤔
Sounds delicious! I’m glad your family enjoyed them. Best kind of feedback! 😊
These muffins are the best!! My kids loved them.
These muffins better be good! Kids can be picky, you know?
I’m so glad your kids loved them! They’re definitely a hit in our house too. 😄
I followed the recipe but mine turned out a bit dry. Maybe I overcooked them?
What if I use less sugar? Don’t like too sweet stuff. Somebody help?
Easy to make, but I added too many chocolate chips. Now they’re more like cookies, lol!
I attempted this but used whole wheat flour instead. They were dense and dry. Maybe stick to the original recipe.
Dense and dry? Yikes! Maybe you added too much flour? Muffins should be fluffy and soft!
Whole wheat flour? That’s a risky move! It really changes the texture. I’d just stick to regular flour next time.
I made these for my kids and they gobbled them up! They didn’t last long. 🤤
That’s awesome! Kids always know what’s good! Did you add anything special to them?
Honestly, I thought they would be too sweet, but the balance is just right! Good job!
