Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Freshly milled whole-grain flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Buttermilk, at room temperature
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the freshly milled flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs to the wet mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and buttermilk.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the muffins for decoration.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes at 200°C (400°F), then reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for another 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
