Ingredients

Units Scale
For the muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
For the topping:
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin (5 minutes):
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients for Muffins (5 minutes):
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients (5 minutes):
    In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients (3 minutes):
    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Prepare the Streusel Topping (5 minutes):
    In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture is crumbly.
  6. Assemble and Bake (25 minutes):
    Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve (10 minutes):
    Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This resting period helps the muffins set and makes them easier to remove from the tin.
