Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cups chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups optional: chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold them together using a spatula. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and, if desired, the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Pookie Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
