Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yields: 6 Servings Difficulty: Easy Prep Time: 15 Mins Cook Time: 25 Mins Total Time: 40 Mins

These bakery-style chocolate chip muffins are sweet, so soft, and fluffy. There are lots of chocolate chip muffin recipes, and I have to say this is by far the best, something that’s better than a million other methods.

But that’s what I’ve got for you today, and considering that you’re here, and maybe you’ve been following along with my recipes, I’m going to assume that you and I have similar taste, and you are going to love this recipe as much as I do.

Cornstarch: I wanted these chocolate chip muffins soft, so thank you, cornstarch, for finally solving that for me! Fluffy and moist because of the moistening power of buttermilk, it helps give these muffins the best texture you could ever ask.

High temperature: I love my muffins big, like something you’d see in a New York City bakery display. If you start with your oven on a high temperature and then drop the temperature about a third of the way through baking, your muffin tops will spring to life, and your muffin bottoms won’t burn or dry out.
