Chocolate Chip Muffins

Print Recipe
Serves: 12 Cooking Time: 14-15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Gourmet Vanilla Extract)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 425-degrees and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners. Set aside. In a large bowl place a sifter in the middle of the bowl. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg into the sifter. Sift. Mix in the chocolate chips into your dry ingredients. Set bowl aside.

2

In a medium sized bowl mix together the egg, buttermilk, oil, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Once ingredients are fully incorporated, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just barely combined.

3

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full of batter and sprinkle coarse sugar on top. Bake in 425-degree oven for 5-minutes. After 5-minutes, leave muffins in the oven, but reduce the oven temperature to 375-degrees and continue baking for an additional 9-10 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes back without raw batter on it.

4

Remove baked muffins from the oven and transfer muffins to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

      Thanks Amy!! The nutmeg adds a bakery kind of taste to them (in my opinion) 😉
