Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with baking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground turmeric until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract and milk.

Step 4

Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing as it can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. For an extra touch of sweetness and texture, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar if desired.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Golden Chocolate Chip Muffins with a cup of coffee or tea!
