Cookdap Community Tips and Praise
“Fluffy and soft interior, crisp but not rock-hard exterior, and an even distribution of chocolate chips throughout the dessert — all great signs of a good muffin to me,” according to derektCookdap.
“They were perfect for breakfast and we had some leftovers for the next day,” says Jenna Yonts. “They came out very dense and fluffy! I love this recipe and I highly recommend it!!”
“These are delicious,” raves Samantha Campbell. “They’re crumbly, but not too dry and still moist. The sugar makes a nice crust, but they melt in your mouth. Highly recommend! Mine made 11 cupcake-sized muffins.”
Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white sugar

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
Step 2
Combine milk, oil, and egg in a small bowl until well blended. Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl, making a well in the center. Pour milk mixture into well and stir until batter is just combined; fold in chocolate chips.
Step 3
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Mix 3 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar together in a small bowl; sprinkle on tops of muffins.

Yesterday I tried the chocolate chip muffin recipe, I found it easy to make, and quick,the only thing I found was that it was too dry as if there was not enough liquid or too much dry ingredients other than that they looked great especially with the sugar topping.
Any suggestions on where I might have gone wrong or what I can do to make them a bit more moist would be appreciated.
Thank you -

The muffins taste great and are so easy to make! I had to watch them carefully with a toothpick in hand at about 15-20 minutes into the baking to make sure it wasn’t too crispy but as long as I’m careful they turn out great. The muffins taste great without the brown sugar/white sugar topping as well (better in my opinion).

Pretty good, I followed the advice of a few other users by adding 1c of milk, but next time I think I’m actually going to add a tiny bit more..
I also substituted the oil for butter, because I for one enjoy the buttery taste of muffins and lastly added a bit of brown sugar in combination of the white sugar to make 1/2 cup.
good stuff! -

I made these this morning. They were super easy to put together. The smell was wonderful and the taste is even better. I followed the other reviewers advice and used the full cup of Milk. I also added in about a 1/2tsp of Vanilla. They were a hit for breakfast. I will make again.

These muffins were ok, but not the best by far. I’ll keep looking. I did add 1 cup of milk (instead of the 3/4) and an extra egg + 1/4 cup oil (instead of 1/3), and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla, which seemed to make them better. Overall, there is a key ingredient/taste missing from these muffins that I can’t quite put my finger on….

Like some of the other bakers, I used 1 cup of milk and added some vanilla and apple juice as one other, I also added 1 1/2 cups fresh cherries. I did need to increase the bake time to about 27-28 minutes but the moisture was just right due to the cherries and apple juice. They were very yummy!!

These were great muffins for a toddler. My daughter loves them. They are simple, light and the chocolate chips really stand out. I did make some modifications: 1/2 c. sugar, 1/2 c. Splenda, 1 c. milk, 1/2 c. oil. For the topping, I crushed three graham crackers, spooned in one heaping wooden spoon of brown sugar and about 1 T. melted butter. I mixed it by hand until crumbly and all moist then put on top. Very good.

I made a few changes to these too. To the original ingredients, I added 1/4 cup skim milk (for a total of 1 cup skim milk), 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa, 1 cup Splenda, 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. I substituted the egg with 1/2 cup Egg Beaters (the equivalent of 2 eggs) and used whole wheat flour instead of white. I also omitted the topping. The results were fantastic! The muffins actually taste like the not-so-good for you versions you can buy at coffeehouses and grocery stores. Even my very picky daughter loves them!

Very good recipe but only with the additions that others left in their reviews. I increased the sugar to 1 cup or it would not have been sweet enough. I omitted the sugar toppings and I had to bake for 24 minutes but I used a mini loaf pan. Other than the sugar they are excellent, moist and a good recipe.

These were ok with all of the changes that had to be made as the other reviewers have recommended, I added 2 eggs, a cup of milk, a whole cup of the regular choc. chips and in addition to all of this, I added almost 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to give it a kick. They were still dry after all. I will probably not make these again.

Chose this recipe to bake for Teacher appreciation week from Moms in Touch group. I took the advise of others and did need to add more milk (I use almond milk). Also, substituted coconut oil in place of vegetable. Do add the sprinkled sugars on top! I had to put them in my freezer quickly as I was so tempted to just keep eating them. This is a beautiful muffin for gift giving.

I made these early in the morning we left for vacation and packed them in simple gallon size zipper bags. They traveled wonderful and made for a great snack. The recipe made 18 for me. Had a few left over the next morning and they were still delicious the next day. I did take others advice and used 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup milk along with adding 1 tsp. vanilla. I also used a whole bag of chips (we liked it that way!!). Became an instant family favorite recipe.

I make these muffins all the time and they are delicious! I always freeze them and put a couple in the microwave for breakfast. One time I didn’t freeze them and they were very dry the day after. I never sprinkle the brown and white sugar on top (personal preference) and I always add about 1/2 cup of vanilla yogurt to make them even more moist.

Very easy and delicious! Tasted almost like chocolate chip cookies. I added a little more milk, a little brown sugar, and some vanilla extract. I omitted the sugar on top. They were just the right amount of moistness and sweetness. I made 18 muffins, as I prefer more of the “muffin top” type muffin, and cooked for about 11 minutes. Will definitely make often. My three kids loved them too!
