Notes

  1. Flour: All-purpose flour works best in this recipe. If you want to make it healthier, you can use half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour. Just remember, this might slightly alter the texture.
  2. Sugar: This recipe calls for granulated sugar, but you can substitute it with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
  3. Butter: Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of your muffins. If you only have salted butter on hand, omit the additional salt in the recipe.
  4. Evaporated Milk: It's the secret to these incredibly moist muffins. If you don't have it, you can use whole milk, but the texture might not be as rich.
  5. Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips are a great balance for the sweet muffin batter. You can use dark chocolate chips for a less sweet, more cocoa-forward flavor.
  6. Don't Overmix: It's crucial to mix the batter until just combined, overmixing can result in dense, less tender muffins.
  7. Baking Times: All ovens are different. Start checking your muffins a few minutes before the suggested baking time to ensure they don't overbake.
  8. Muffin Liners: They make for easy cleanup and prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan. If you don't have them, be sure to grease your muffin tin well.
