Soft, moist muffins loaded with milk chocolate chips and made with melted butter for rich flavor.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dry ingredients

01 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Chocolate

05 - 1½ cups milk chocolate chips

→ Wet ingredients

06 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
07 - ¼ cup vegetable oil
08 - 3 large eggs
09 - 1½ cups milk (whole or 2%)
10 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk chocolate chips to coat them evenly with the flour mixture.
02 - In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
03 - Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently just until combined and moist; do not overmix.
04 - Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Fill each cup about three-quarters full with batter.
05 - Optional: Top each muffin with two or three additional milk chocolate chips to enhance appearance.
06 - Bake at 375°F for 15 to 18 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and muffins spring back when lightly touched.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Mini muffins can be made by adjusting the baking time accordingly. Use any preferred chocolate chips such as semi-sweet or mini chips if desired.
