Chocolate Chip Muffins

 • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

 • ¾ cup (150g) sugar

 • 2 tsp baking powder

 • ½ tsp baking soda

 • ½ tsp salt

 • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)

 • 1 cup (240ml) milk

 • 2 large eggs

 • 2 tsp vanilla extract

 • 1 cup chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

 1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line your muffin tray with paper cups.

 2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

 3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk well.

 4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently.

 • Do NOT overmix — lumps are okay.

 5. Fold in chocolate chips.

 6. Scoop batter into your muffin cups, filling them ¾ full. Add extra chocolate chips on top.

 7. Bake for 5 minutes at 200°C, then reduce heat to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

 8. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
