The Best Chocolate Chip Muffins. After over 30 years of baking this is still my favourite chocolate chip muffin recipe. Moist on the inside with crunchy edges on the muffin top and plenty of luscious chocolate morsels baked right in. A perfect muffin.
Recipe updated January 2019 to include nutritional values.
I like a good muffin top. No, I don't have to call in Newman from Seinfeld to dispose of the muffin stumps!
I like those too, but to me, a perfect chocolate chip muffin should have a crunchy top and a perfectly baked interior that isn't dry but is just a little denser than cake.
I'm not really partial to muffins that are too cake-like in texture; as a morning food it should be a little heartier than a tender cake. This recipe gets the balance just right.
The batter here will be somewhat lumpy but don't let that bother you; it is as it should be.
I also like to sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the batter of many kinds of muffins. That's to create a sweet glossy crust but this step is of course, optional.
These will make a great start to your weekend brunch!

The Best Chocolate Chip Muffins
The Best Chocolate Chip Muffins - after over 30 years of baking this is still my favourite chocolate chip muffin recipe. Moist on the inside with crunchy edges on the muffin top and plenty of luscious chocolate morsels baked right in. A perfect muffin.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup whipping cream
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Sift together the flour and baking powder and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment in place, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until foamy and slightly stiffened.
- Mix together the melted butter and vegetable oil in a measuring cup with a spout.
- Slowly add the oil and butter mixture to the egg mixture in a slow stream as the mixer continues to whisk.
- Mix together the whipping cream, milk and apple cider vinegar and add slowly to the mixing bowl continuing to mix but at a reduced speed.
- Fold in the dry ingredients by hand with a rubber spatula being careful not to over mix. Don't worry about lumps in the batter, they are fine. When the dry ingredients are almost incorporated, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter into well greased muffin tins, filling them to the top. If you like you can sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar over the top of each muffin before baking.
- Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 20 - 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Can you add pecans or would it effect the recipe?
Nah, go right ahead.
Do you make them in a 12 muffin tin or the jumbo 6 muffin tin?
The recipe should be fine either way. I just got jumbo pans this week and am looking forward to trying them myself.
Hi Barry!
So I know I am probably in the minority here, but I am not a big chocolate chip fan. Do you think this recipe would work alright using blueberries rather than the chips? This recipe looks so lovely I would really like to try with berries, and to me anyway, it looks nicer than the blueberry muffin recipe....I think it must be the sugary topping and big top that is appealing to me! Thank you!
I think you are looking at too much moisture from fresh berries. Dried berries, yes though.
Would I (or you) have to makes changes to the recipe to change chocolate chips out for raisins.? My husband and I both would prefer raisins to chipits. Do you have recipes for raisin muffins or raisin anything...I love ❤️ your recipes,,
All of our recipes are easily searched on site. I would not make any changes except for the raisins.
Finally made these and they were amazing!!
Thanks
Can you make these into mini muffins? If so, what would the cooking time be?
Never done that but don't see why not. Check them often and let the toothpick test be your guide.
I made these muffin today and they are wonderful. I did not have a problem popping them out of the pan as i sprayed the tin liberally. I used the lemon juice, and good to know that we can use whole milk instead of whipping cream because i don't always have that on hand. I would like to try them as mini muffins. ♥
Hi Barry,
Am I missing how many muffins this recipe makes?
12? I don't see it, but does ot mean it's not there.
Thanks,
Tina
Found it! On the picture of the muffins above - 12 Large Muffins.
Best,
Tina
Every day I look forward to opening your recipe email. Just wish I had the time to make it all...lol
I didn't have whipping cream on hand, so I tried a tin of Carnation thick cream. Turned out EXCELLENT 😋
It is indeed the BEST chocolate chip recipe ever!!!
Thank you Barry.
Enjoy your day 😊
Good to know!
