  • 10 mins
  • 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups plain flour (all purpose flour)
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda / bi carb soda
  • 1 cup white sugar (Note 1)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (Note 2)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, lightly whisked
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups chocolate chips (US: semi-sweet)

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat oven to 200C/390F. Line a 12 hole muffin tin with paper patties.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir through chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla.
Make a well in the flour bowl, pour in egg mixture and 1½ cups chocolate chips. Mix until just combine - try not to stir more than 8 times. Some flour lumps in the batter is fine.
Divide batter between paper cases. Top with remaining ¼ cup chocolate chips.
Bake for 5 minutes, then turn down to 180C/350F and bake for a further 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the muffin comes out clean.
Remove muffins from the muffin tin immediately onto a cooling rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature (warm is extra yum!)
