Equipment

1 Oven

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
¾ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
1¼ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup butter melted
1 cup Milk
2 eggs large

Instructions

Step1: Combine dry ingredients

In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder and baking soda into a bowl.
Add sugar and salt. Whisk thoroughly to blend well.
Add 1 cup of chocolate chips into the flour mixture and combine gently. You can also skip this step and add the chocolate chips in the last stage.

Step 2: Combine wet ingredients

Mix eggs, vanilla, oil, melted butter and milk in another bowl. Whisk until completely smooth.

Step 3: Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and gently whisk to combine.
Cover and set aside while the oven preheats to 425°F and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 4: Bake muffins

Scoop the batter using an icing cream scoop or a big spoon.
Divide the batter evenly into the lined muffin cups filling upto the top.
Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each filled muffin cup.
Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Check if the muffins are well baked by inserting a toothpick into the center of the muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffin is baked.

Step5: Remove and cool

Cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan then remove onto a rack to cool further.
Serve warm.

Notes

Sift dry ingredients to mix well and eliminate lumps
Rest the batter shortly before baking. This helps the batter gain structure as the flour hydrates, which helps it to build strength and form tall muffin tops.
Don't overbake. This will dry the muffins.
Do not ovemix the batter.
