Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar (if using), baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
  4. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until *just* combined. Do not overmix (a few lumps are fine).
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Divide batter evenly among cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Sprinkle: Lightly sprinkle a pinch of sugar on top for a sweet, golden crust (optional).
  8. Bake 18–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Serve warm — delicious plain or with a pat of butter!

Tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 15 seconds!
