YUUMMMYYYY!!! I made a few changes though. I added an extra 1/4 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 heaping tablespoon of brown sugar an extra 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet choc. chips. My kids LOVED them. Very moist and sweet. Next time, I may try to make them a LITTLE healthier by using w/w flour, applesauce instead of oil and skim milk.
This is a great basic recipe for chocolate chip muffins. They turned out perfect. It is a great base to tweak however you like and experiment with....as they are, they're pretty foolproof. I added a splash of vanilla extract, used a full cup of milk, and made a little less than 1/4 of my cup of sugar brown sugar. I used about 3/4 of a cup of chocolate chips, but then sprinkled a few extra on the top of each muffin before I baked them for added chocolate as well as aesthetics. They turned out picture-perfect. Next time I'll probably add a pinch of cocoa to my batter and give that a shot. These were great!
Don’t listen to the negative reviews! This was a fine fast recipe! I followed it exactly (okay I used canola – does anyone buy vegetable oil anymore?) and I added a splash more milk before I filled the muffin cups. Here are my notes: the batter will be extremely thick, use a teaspoon and spoon it in. I used mini-muffin cups and I filled only ½ full. They rise a lot! I baked mini’s for exactly 11 minutes & they weren’t very brown on top but they were completely cooked and they were golden brown on the stump. It is fast and easy and good. This is not a gourmet muffin but kids and coworkers will be happy.
Wonderful muffin! Not overly sweet so they're perfect for breakfast! I added a heaping tsp. of vanilla and used 1 cup of buttermilk instead of the 3/4 cup of milk which made these very moist. I also used a full cup of Hershey's mini chocolate chips. I baked these in a Texas sized muffin tin lined with paper liners and got a half dozen huge muffins. I topped them with turbinado sugar before popping them in the oven and baked them at 400 for 20 minutes. They smelled great and tasted even better!
I like them very much. Easy to make. I did add some extra milk bc the batter was sooo thick. I feel like although they are very good, that there might be something small missing?? All in all though, quick and easy to make and a great treat! ***Update, I followed another reviewers suggestion and added a splash of vanilla and this time, I used canola oil instead of veg oil, and I swear, they were that much better. Awesome!
This recipe was easy to make, but that was the only good part about it. When they were done and cooled, I did not care for them. I was disappointed with the results because this recipe looked pretty good. You can try it if you want, but I don't recommend it.
This is a really good basic muffin recipe. I read some of the reviews so I increased my milk to 1 cup, added 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 T of vanilla. They were moist and delicious. I saw some people had a problem with the muffins sticking so I gave my non-stick pan a light coating of cooking spray and had no trouble at all. I also added a pinch of brown sugar and a couple of chocolate chips to the top of the muffins during the last 5 mn. of baking time. They looked as well as tasted great!
I did not like the texture of this muffin. Mine was more like a biscuit with chocolate chips. Something must be wrong with the ingredients, the batter was very firm. Perhaps something like melted butter is missing? I also think that I tasted the baking powder! The taste was bland even after adding vanilla, again, I think that melted butter may add flavor. I really do not think that extra milk would add that flavor it is lacking. I may try this again and add some ingredients.
Excellent recipe. I did add the extra 1/4 cup milk and a few more chocolate chips. They were perfect texture and mine did brown. I would say that if you like your muffins really sugary and sweet that you should probably add more sugar. These were fine for me though. Will definitely make them again
