There are two ways that you can enjoy these muffins - just the way they are in the photos or you can cook them at a lower temperature and have a softer, smoother muffin.
Do you see those slightly crispy little brown bits on top of the muffin? Well, that is what makes these SO delicious. The texture that is created by cooking them at higher temperature, then dropping the temperature for the rest of the bake.
Do you love bakery-style muffins with those big delicious muffin tops? Awesome! You will want to check out Apple Oatmeal Streusel Muffins with Maple Icing. Truly a delicious muffin that is the perfect breakfast snack!
Tips for the best muffins ever
I've used this technique for most of my muffins. It's the trick to get those muffin tops to puff up like the ones in the bakery.
Usually, I drop the temperature from 425°F to 350°F, but I moved the temperature to 375°F for the second part of the bake with these muffins.
The test kitchen aka hubby and twin sons said it was their favourite muffins ever!
These muffins are moist and so tasty with heaps of chocolate chips in every bite. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
This recipe makes a batch of six large muffins, not the smaller regular tin - the jumbo one. 🙂
INGREDIENTS AND NOTES
- Buttermilk - I often give a substitution for buttermilk by adding vinegar or lemon juice to milk but in this recipe, I recommend using the real thing.
- Eggs - use large eggs and take them out of the refrigerator thirty to sixty minutes before baking.
- Chocolate chips - I love the mini chocolate chips or you can use the regular size or even the chocolate chunks. Sweet chocolate chips add delicious flavour to this plain muffin.
- Sugar topping - these muffins are sweet enough without the coarse sugar sprinkled over the top, but if you want that authentic bakery-style muffin you can sprinkle some over before baking.

Soft and fluffy on the inside and the little crunchy bits on the outside are SO good! I sometimes substitute sour cream for the buttermilk.

OMG these muffins are so good they often are requested by our chocolate chip monsters in the house. Remind of muffins I used enjoy from a bakery in the city!
