Chocolate Chip Muffins
I have been on a muffin kick lately. I just couldn’t get enough of my Strawberry Muffins, they were gone way too fast. So today, I thought I would take the same recipe I use to make my popular Homemade Blueberry Muffins to make these delicious Chocolate Chip Muffins.
These Chocolate Chip Muffins reminds me of my childhood. Growing up, my mom would make these muffins on Sunday’s after church. My brother and I always made sure we were on our BEST behavior at church so that when we got home we could have one or two of these amazing Chocolate Chip Muffins.
These muffins are definitely a family favorite at our house and I know once you make these Chocolate Chip Muffins for your family, they will be a favorite in your house too. And your kids will love it because it’s like eating chocolate chip cookies for breakfast!
JUST A FEW BAKING TIPS:
✔ I love using buttermilk in this muffin recipe because it makes these muffins super soft and tender, just how everyone loves them. But if you don’t have buttermilk in your fridge, no worries. You can simply make your own homemade buttermilk with only two simple ingredients. All you will need is cow’s milk and lemon juice.
★ To make it super easy for you to make your own buttermilk, here is a step-by-step guide on how to make homemade buttermilk here, it’s super simple!
✔ I like to use an ice cream scooper to fill the muffin batter into each muffin tin. I think it makes it super easy and you know that each muffin will be the same size.
✔ Lastly, don’t let the muffins “cool” in the hot muffin pan, after about 5 minutes take the muffins out of the muffin pan and place them on a wire rack to cool for another 5-10 minutes. Keeping the muffins in the muffin pan too long will lead to dry, overcooked muffins.

This is really one of the best chocolate chip muffins I’ve tried! Thanks so much for the recipe!
Hi ! I’d like to know what do you mean by 2 1/2 cups is that 2 + 1/2 or 1/2 x 2 ?
2 cups + 1/2 cup. Enjoy!
Holy smokes just made these and they are awesome! Best tasting muffins I have ever made.

You can never have too many muffins in the house or chocolate chips 😉 these look great!!!
Oh these look so good! thanks for sharing the recipe, I cannot wait to make them!
As a former Pastor Kid, I totally understand the waiting time until brunch! Sometimes it was hard not to whine for food after helping set up, sitting in church, and singing in the youth choir. Knowing that breakfast was in my future always kept me on my best behavior! What a perfect meal on a Sunday morning. Thank you. 🙂
