These bakery style Chocolate Chip Muffins are such an easy recipe for when you want a sweet treat using only your pantry essentials.

That’s it. I think that I have found the perfect Chocolate Chip Muffins.

I’ve been looking for a while. Some are too dry, others don’t rise enough for my liking. But finally, this is the one I will be making over and over again. Pass it down to my kids so that they can make it for their kids too. They’ve got the tall muffin tops that I love, and the sprinkling of sugar on top tastes like I am eating one of those overpriced muffins you get from your local coffee shop. But at a fraction of the price.

My two boys love them so much, so you KNOW it’s good! My youngest is the pickiest kid I have ever met, so if he likes them, I am sure you will too!

Tips

Storage: Store cooled muffins in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. It is important that you line the container with paper towels so that they will absorb any additional moisture and prevent the muffins from going soggy. For longer storage, store them in the freezer. I wouldn’t recommend the fridge, as they change from moist muffins to dry muffins very quickly.

Freezing: To freeze these muffins, cover each muffin in either plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then place in a large freezer safe bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, remove covering and microwave for around 20 seconds, or until warm.

Try different chocolate chips. I find that milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips are the best replacement for semisweet chocolate chips, but you can also use white chocolate chips if you like a sweet muffin. Just don’t forget to add some extra chocolate chips to the top of the muffins!

Make them without muffin liners. I like paper liners, strictly because it makes the muffin pan a lot easier to clean. But if you don’t like using liners, I would opt for a muffin pan with silicone muffin cups because then extracting the muffins from the muffin pan becomes so much easier.

Use an ice cream scoop! I have always had a hard time scooping the muffin batter into the pan, but I recently bought a large ice cream scoop that changed my life (not really, but I kinda felt that way!). Just make sure that it has a swiping option like this one so that you get all of the batter off the spoon!
