These chocolate chip muffins are my favorite breakfast treat! Moist, puffy, and lightly sweet, they’re delicious with a cup of coffee or tea.
Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this chocolate chip muffin recipe:
- Chocolate chips, of course! Fold most of them into the batter, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
- All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour – I love using this combination in baking. It’s more wholesome than 100% all-purpose flour, and it yields tender, soft, and puffy muffins.
- Baking powder and baking soda – They make the muffins nice and puffy.
- Nutmeg – The secret ingredient! I add a tiny pinch to enhance the rich flavor of the chocolate chips.
- Greek yogurt – For extra moisture and richness.
- Eggs – They add moisture and help the muffins puff up as they bake.
- Almond milk – Or any milk you like! Oat milk would work nicely here too.
- Maple syrup – It sweetens the muffins naturally and adds a subtle maple flavor.
- Olive oil – I use olive oil because it’s what I keep on hand, but if you prefer, you could substitute a neutral oil, such as avocado or vegetable oil.
- Apple cider vinegar – For extra rise.
- Vanilla extract – For warm depth of flavor.
- And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!
