Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 90g of sugar
- 60ml of vegetable oil
- 180ml of milk
- 240g of all-purpose flour
- 1 packet of baking powder (approximately 16g)
- Chocolate chips, as desired for mixing into the batter and for topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mixture:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined. Add the vegetable oil and milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the flour and baking powder together to ensure they are well incorporated without any lumps.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until the flour is moistened to avoid overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in a generous amount of chocolate chips into the batter. Ensure even distribution without deflating the mixture too much.
- Bake the Muffins:
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra chocolaty goodness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cooling and Serving:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm for the best experience, or store in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
