  • Total Time: 28 Minutes
  • Yield: 7-8 Muffins 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3oz (6 Tablespoons) Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1oz (2 Tablespoons) Vegetable Oil
  • 100 grams (1/2 Cup) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg, at room temp.
  • 2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 156 grams (1 1/2 Cups) All-Purpose Flour/ Plain Flour
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 4oz (1/2 Cup) Buttermilk
  • 150 grams (1 Cup) Chocolate Chips/ Chunks
  • 3 Tablespoons Demera/ Turbinado Sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F/218C and grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl mix together the melted butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar. Add the egg and vanilla extract whisking to combine. Whisk in the buttermilk.
  3. In a separate bowl combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gently folding. Do not over mix.
  5. Using a large scoop divide the batter between 7-8 cups. Sprinkle demerara sugar on top and extra chocolate chips, if desired. Bake for five minutes then reduce the temperature to 350F/180C and bake for an additional 10 to 13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the muffin tops bounce back if you gently press them.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container.

Notes

To freeze the muffins: Let them cool completely then place them in a freezer friendly Ziploc bag or wrap tightly in plastic wrap/ cling film. Let them freeze in a single layer then after a few hours feel free to shuffle the bag around so they take up less space or leave them in a single layer!

To thaw a frozen muffin: Let it sit at room temperature for an hour or so, place them in the fridge overnight, or microwave for 30 seconds when you want one!
