1 dozen

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a muffin pan with paper liners, or grease each muffin cup.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate small bowl, beat the egg, milk and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture just until moistened.

  4. 4

    Fold in the chocolate chips. Editor's Tip: Use a spatula or wooden spoon for this step, rather than a hand mixer. This will help to prevent overmixing the batter.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter between the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in one comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
