Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar)
  • 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90g) chocolate bar chunks, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your muffin tin with liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  4. Stir in the buttermilk into the wet mixture.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate chunks.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted around the edge comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for best texture. Folding in chopped chocolate chunks creates gooey pockets. Tent muffins with foil if tops brown too quickly. For extra gooey centers, add a few chocolate chunks on top before baking.
