- Chocolate Chips: I recommend semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- Butter: For this recipe, melt the butter and then let it sit, while preparing the rest of the ingredients, to slightly cool down.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Here is how to make and bake these Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins. This recipe doesn't need an electric mixer. Just two bowls, a whisk and a spatula.
The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.
Before starting preheat the oven to 220ºC/425ºF conventional oven. Prepare a 12-cup cupcake pan with 6 cupcake liners, only lining every other cupcake hole, as it helps them to dome up.
STEP 1: In a bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt together.
STEP 2: In another mixing bowl add melted butter, sugar and egg and whisk together until combined. Then add the whole milk, sour cream and vanilla extract and whisk it together until combined.
STEP 3: Add the chocolate chips into the sifted flour mixture and mix it together so the chocolate chips are mixed well with the flour. Add the chocolate chips and flour mixture to the wet batter and gently fold it together with a spatula.
STEP 4: Divide the cake batter into the 6 cupcake liners. Bake them for 5 minutes and then reduce the heat to 175ºC/350ºF, without opening the oven, further bake them for 12-14 minutes.
STEP 5: Let the muffins cool in the hot pan. After 3-5 minutes, gently remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool down additionally for 10 minutes before eating!
EXPERT BAKING TIPS
- Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
- Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.
FAQ
I recommend using a cake tester. Once the time has passed, per the recipe, insert the cake tester in the middle of one of the muffins and once it comes out clean, with no cake batter on it, then they are done.
I recommend making the muffins on they day as they are best enjoyed fresh. Luckily they take no time to make.

RAD
Baked these as a 'thank you treat' for a sweet neighbour and they were a huge success. I like that it's a small batch and they're so easy to whip up. I added a little orange zest because we always add citrus to everything out here in California, haha. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Much ❤️
