How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder; toss the chocolate chips. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy for about 5 minutes.
Next, add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl and whisking well after each addition. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beating until just combined, and the chocolate until evenly distributed (the batter will be very thick). Do not overmix!
Scoop the batter evenly into each cup in the prepared muffin pan, filling them almost full. Lightly sprinkle sugar among the muffins. Bake the Chocolate chip Muffins for about 25 to 27 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
