Easy Chocolate Chips Muffins

Yum

The kids could not wait for the morning to come, so that they can enjoy these muffins I baked for breakfast. They kept coming out of their room to tell me that they are too hungry to sleep, and will need to have a muffin to fill up their tummy. All puppy eyes, sweet voices, and super cutesy expressions… I caved and gave the girls 1/2 a muffin each. The husband too, sneaked 2 in his belly just before he went to bed. Naughty naughty!

I shouldn’t be complaining much, because I had one, right after it came out of the oven. I mean, I have to taste it right?! Also had another after I took pictures, because it’s already torn apart for pictures, and who can resist those little chocolate chips in there?! Come on, don’t judge. πŸ˜› 

The recipe yield moist muffins because of the buttermilk used, and it has a slight caramel taste because of the brown sugar added instead of just castor sugar. By the 2nd day, my batch of muffins were all wiped out! The girls were all smiles in the morning and all chocolate faced! What a priceless image of them. Come to think of it, I should have taken some pictures to share with all of you. Never mind, next time. πŸ™‚

      Hi Adeline.. May I know how many muffins did you make and if it’s made in muffin pans? Also did you modify the recipe? Off hand, these could be the reasons..oven too hot (each oven has its own temperament), batter over filled, too much liquid, or using those standing cupcake liners. πŸ™‚

      You can get buttermilk from fresh milk, just add lemon juice or vinegar to the milk and let it sit. The buttermilk acts as an acid to react to the baking soda.

    Hi Sharon, can I replace buttermilk with Greek yogurt? I bought a 1-kg tub for your blueberry muffin recipe (which is delish by the way!) and thought might as well use that if possible.

    Thanks Sharon for the reply on replacing buttermilk with Greek yogurt! 😁 I will follow your suggestion but should I reduce the amount of flour by 1 tablespoon since I don’t need to coat the choc chips with flour? Or do I still need to? Thanks in advance!

    Dear Sharon, just to let you know the choc chip muffins using the blueberry muffin recipe is πŸ‘ and I also snucked in some Nutella when I put the dough in the pan which I think caused my muffins to be slightly deformed (when it rise, it listed to one side. But I ate it when it was fresh from the oven and the Nutella added an extra oomph! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
