Fluffy Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe 

These fluffy chocolate chip muffins are incredibly easy to make and a must-try for anyone who loves chewy chocolate chip cookies. Packed with a generous amount of chocolate chips, each bite is filled with that irresistible chocolate flavor. This chocolate chip muffin recipe is our favorite because it yields moist, light, and fluffy muffins that taste just like a chocolate chip cookie—only in muffin form!

Tip for super soft muffins! Be sure not to overmix your muffin batter or it will smooth out the pockets of air bubbles that help create the moisture in your muffins!

These homemade chocolate chip muffins are so delicious, they taste like they came straight from the bakery—but better because they’re made right at home! Enjoy one with your morning coffee, serve them as a quick school breakfast idea, or treat yourself to them for dessert. For my chocolate lovers, you’ll also love our Chocolate Chip Scones and for a warm, comforting treat, try Bread Machine Chocolate Chip Bread.

Ingredients to Make Moist Chocolate Chip Muffins

  • All-purpose flour, provides the structure for the muffins, ensuring they hold together while maintaining a soft and fluffy texture.
  • Sugar, adds sweetness and helps create a soft, tender crumb.
  • Brown sugar, brings moisture and a subtle caramel flavor, enhancing the overall sweetness and texture.
  • Baking powder, acts as the leavening agent, helping the muffins rise and become light and airy.
  • Salt, balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the other ingredients, making the chocolate taste richer.
  • Milk, hydrates the dry ingredients, contributing to a moist texture. You can use dairy milk or vanilla almond milk for different flavors.
  • Butter (melted), adds richness and flavor, helping to create a soft and tender muffin crumb.
  • Eggs (beaten), bind the ingredients together and help the muffins rise, giving them a fluffy, tender texture.
  • Vanilla, adds warmth and depth of flavor, complementing the chocolate chips.
  • Lemon juice, brightens the flavor of the muffins and enhances the leavening effect of the baking powder.
  • Vegetable oil, adds moisture and ensures the muffins remain soft and tender for longer.
  • Chocolate chips, provide the signature chocolate flavor! You can use bittersweet, milk, dark chocolate, or even try peanut butter chips or nuts for variety.

How to Make Fluffy Chocolate Chip Muffins 

Preheat the oven and spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. This recipe makes 12 muffins.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.

In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients.

Combine milk mixture with the dry ingredients and mix well.

Storing Leftover Muffins

The best way to store chocolate chip muffins is to keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for about 2-3 days this way.

If you need to keep them longer, you can freeze them! Just wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw them at room temperature or heat them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.

    These muffins are terrific. I made a batch for my kids and they disappeared quickly. I think a shopping trip is planned for more chocolate chips and muffin liners. I have been making muffins all week for my three boys and I can honestly say that after the pumpkin muffins these are the ones they like the most.

        They are so much of a hot that they all three asked for more this morning. My husband stopped on his way home from work this morning and got the ingredients that I needed. Thanks so much for this recipe. I can’t wait to try your other recipes.

    For some reason muffins are never something I think of but the other day I made some blueberry muffins and Nate declared them delicious (I don’t think i even knew he liked muffins!), so more are definitely in my kitchen’s future. I know he’d loooove these choco chip ones. They look so tasty 🙂

    Okay, first of all, there is no shame in being in pajamas at 7pm on a Friday. That’s what all the cool kids do…at least the cool kids who live at my house. Secondly, these muffins look fantastic! I rarely make muffins but when I do, I absolutely love them…obviously need to make them more often! Thanks for a great-looking recipe.

    is lemon juice necessary

      I wouldn’t say it’s necessary, but it balances out the sweet with a bit of tart without tasting the lemon juice at all. I’d say they would still be delicious without the lemon juice.

    love! they remind me of the mini-muffins my cousin used to make at family gatherings. He’d fill up a big basket, and it would always end up empty. Good times.

    Chocolate chip muffins make me so incredibly happy. My mom would make them for us every week as a kid… and even still today if we are going to be at her house anytime remotely close to breakfast, a batch of chocolate chip muffins will be waiting for us.
