Make homemade chocolate chip muffins for the perfect breakfast treat or afternoon snack.

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

Instructions

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

2 Combine the dry ingredients

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

4 Add the wet ingredients

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

6 Add the chocolate

7 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.

8 Bake the muffins

9 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.
