Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 250 g
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar 150 g
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder 8 g
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 3 g
  • ½ teaspoon salt 3 g
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional (1 g)
  • 2 large eggs about 100 g without shells
  • ½ cup milk 120 ml
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter 120 ml
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 130 g

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  • Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To make these muffins more macro-friendly and higher in protein, here are a few tips:
  • Replace up to half of the flour with a protein baking blend or baking-safe protein powder.
  • Swap part of the oil for plain Greek yogurt to reduce fat and add protein while keeping the muffins moist.
  • Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly and help control portions without sacrificing flavor. Try using Lily's chocolate chips for fewer carbs and sugar.
These muffins store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days or can be frozen for longer storage.
