**Chocolate Chip Muffins**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chocolate chips
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the wells with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
5. Once the batter is combined, add the chocolate chips and fold them in gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. You can sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin before baking for a beautiful finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, with perhaps a few moist crumbs attached.
8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Chocolate Chip Muffins are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are baked, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm them in the oven.
