Hi Bold Bakers! A good old chocolate chip muffin really can’t be beaten. I loved them as a child, and probably even more so today because I have such fond food memories of eating them at a simpler time growing up in Ireland. Fluffy and loaded with chocolate chips, wouldn’t you want to grab one (or two, no judgment) for breakfast and start your day on the right foot? Already have an account? They are sweet, but not overly so, and have the perfect amount of chocolate. These Chocolate Chip Muffins are delicious on their own with nothing more than a cold glass of milk, or if you must remember that you are all grown up, a nice, strong cup of Irish tea!
What Kind Of Chocolate Chips?
Regular or mini semi-sweet chocolate chips work best in this recipe. If you want something sweeter, milk chocolate chips can be used. Both bittersweet chocolate chips and larger sized baking chips will overwhelm the taste balance of muffin to chip so I would avoid either of these.

Don’t overmix! For the most tender muffins, take care not to overmix your batter when combining the wet and dry ingredients.
