Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk (beginning and ending with the dry ingredients). Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
