Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full.
Place a small dollop of chocolate chips or jam (about 1 teaspoon) into the center of each muffin. Press it lightly so it sinks slightly into the batter but does not touch the bottom of the tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge (avoiding the center filling) comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your beautiful Brown Eyed Susan Muffins!
