How to make Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425°F and prepare a 12 cup muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray or liners.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
Baking
Divide the batter into the 12 muffin cups and bake at 425°F for 5 minutes.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and bake for another 12-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Let the muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before enjoying warm.
FAQS
What is the best way to store bakery style chocolate chip muffins for freshness?
To keep your bakery style chocolate chip muffins fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Just make sure to let them cool completely before freezing.
Can I substitute buttermilk in the chocolate chip muffin recipe?
Yes, if you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using it in your chocolate chip muffin recipe.
What dietary modifications can I make to the chocolate chip muffin recipe?
To make these chocolate chip muffins healthier, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or coconut milk in place of buttermilk and replace the butter with a dairy-free alternative like coconut oil.
What are some great pairings for chocolate chip muffins?
Bakery style chocolate chip muffins pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast. They also make a delightful snack alongside a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
How can I ensure my chocolate chip muffins are perfectly moist?
To achieve moist chocolate chip muffins, avoid overmixing the batter after combining wet and dry ingredients. Also, be sure to bake them at the correct temperatures: start at 425°F for the first 5 minutes to create a nice dome, then reduce to 375°F for the remainder of the baking time. This method helps retain moisture.
