How to make the best Chocolate Chip Muffins
This Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe is so easy! Here are a few tips to ensure you bake the perfect batch of muffins.
- Tip 1: Their is a secret to tall muffin tops. Fill your muffin cups all the way to the top. Bake your muffins for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F for an additional 20 - 25 minutes. The initial high heat temperature allows the muffins to rise quickly and create a tall crust.
- Tip 2: When you’re combining the wet and dry ingredients, don’t over mix. This is a very important step. When you mix the flour with the wet ingredients it activates the gluten proteins which gives your muffins structure. Over mixing can lead to chewy or dense muffins.
- Tip 3: For best results use out KPKitchen Silicone Muffin Pan. Our 12 cup silicone muffin pan is made out of the highest quality 100% pure European LFGB grade silicone which is BPA free silicone and has no additives & no plastic fillers.
