Are Muffins Healthier Than Donuts?

It depends on the muffin. Many types of muffins are actually higher in fat and calories than donuts. To know for sure, check the nutrition information.

Recipe Variations for Chocolate Chip Muffins

The chocolate chips in this recipe can be any type of chocolate chip you love. I personally love semi-sweet chocolate chips in the recipe, but milk chocolate or dark chocolate would both work great, or a combination of chocolate.

If you are a nut lover, chopped walnuts or pecans would both be delicious in this recipe.

If you want to try a real treat, add a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for this recipe. It adds a warm comforting flavor that you’ll love.

Tips for the Best Muffins

When it comes to making tender and moist muffins with a big dome, I have found a few tricks to help:

• Make sure you have fresh ingredients, especially the baking powder. When it comes to getting that fluffy dome on the top of the muffins, the leavening agent is going to be a huge contributor.
• Don’t overmix the batter! You want the wet and dry ingredients to be combined thoroughly but not overmixed.
• Use a #20 size cookie scoop to fill the paper liners so that you get even amounts of batter in each cup and similarly sized baked muffins. A #20 cookie scoop is about 3 tablespoons.
• Once you have filled the muffin liners with batter, sprinkle a few chocolate chips on the top so they look extra pretty when they bake.
• When it comes to storing the muffins (which I have a whole section on below), you can stick a paper towel over the top of the muffins to keep the moisture in control. Sometimes muffins can get a little soggy as they sit, and we don’t want that!

Storage Tips

Freshly baked muffins will keep for about a week. Muffins should be kept in an airtight container or in a plastic bag. They can be kept at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Muffins also freeze extremely well. After they have cooled completely, place them in a freezer-safe container. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Set them out at room temperature for 20 or 30 minutes to thaw or pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds. They make a great breakfast on-the-go for those busy mornings!

Imagine biting into a warm, soft muffin that’s packed with gooey pockets of melted chocolate chips. Each bite is a perfect balance of a fluffy, tender crumb and the sweet, irresistible flavor of chocolate.

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Muffin recipe takes the best of both worlds—fluffy muffin meets chewy cookie—and creates an indulgent treat that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack.
