Easy One-Bowl Chocolate Chip Muffins

from melskitchencafe.com

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup neutral-flavored oil (see note)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (see note)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • Coarse or raw/turbinado sugar, for sprinkling ((optional but delicious))

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla and mix until very well combined.

  3. 3

    Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and before mixing, add the chocolate chips on top.

  4. 4

    Mix the batter with a rubber spatula until no dry streaks remain (don't over mix or the muffins might be dry and tough).

  5. 5

    Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin (about 2/3 full). If you have leftover batter and are worried about overfilling the muffin cups, bake a 2nd batch with the remaining batter.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with coarse sugar, if using. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the tops spring back lightly to the touch and/or a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
