These fluffy chocolate chip muffins are so soft and taste like they came from the bakery! Recipe makes 1 dozen muffins.

Bakery Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe 

These very fluffy chocolate chip muffins are super easy to make and perfect if you love chocolate chip cookies because they are overly filled with chocolate chips! This is our favorite chocolate chip muffin recipe because it makes moist, fluffy muffins with a taste of chocolate chips with each bite!

These homemade muffins taste just like they came from the bakery – but better because they’re made at home! Eat one with your morning coffee, or have them for a quick school breakfast idea, or serve them as a dessert. Or even better – do them all!

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.

Bake. Once complete, allow them to cool before popping them out.

Serve and enjoy your moist chocolate chip muffins!

Storing Leftover Muffins

Room temperature: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container. Left at room temperature, chocolate chip muffins are good for 2-3 days.

Refrigerator: Leftover muffins will last up to four days in the fridge if stored in a sealed container.

Freezer: You can totally make these to store in the freezer for a quick treat! Store leftover chocolate chip muffins in a freezer bag. Leftover muffins stored in the freezer can last up to three months. You can thaw them in the fridge overnight, let them sit at room temperature for at least an hour, or throw them in the microwave to heat up.

Chocolate Chip Muffins Substitutions

Chocolate chips: You can use bittersweet, milk chocolate or dark chocolate (my fav!). You can even use peanut butter chips or add nuts if you’d like!

Milk: You can use dairy milk or vanilla almond milk.

Butter: If you’re aiming for dairy-free muffins, you can replace the butter with a plant-based version. 

What is the secret to making moist 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!

Can you mix up muffin batter the night before?

Yes, you can mix the muffin batter the night before, but you will have to cover it tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator. Chilling muffin batter overnight often results in more moist and more tall muffins!

    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.
