How to make Chocolate Chip Muffins Step by Step
1.Preheat oven to 180 deg C for 10 minutes. Sieve maida twice and keep aside. Cream sugar and curd until sugar completely dissolves. Add baking powder, baking soda to the creamed mixture and mix well.

2.Leave aside for 5 minutes and you can see the bubbles appearing. Now add vanilla essence, cooking oil and mix well.

3.Next slowly add maida in portions at a time and blend with wet ingredients. Beat well with a whisk until creamy and thick. Add choco chips and give a quick mix.

4.Meanwhile lay the muffin liners in the muffin pan .Spoon the batter into each muffin liner till 3/4th of the liner. Top it with few more choco chips. Bake in preheated oven at the same temperature and bake it for 20-25 minutes or till a fork inserted into the muffins comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool down in wire rack and then store or enjoy it warm.

Serve it for breakfast or as a snack!

Expert Tips
- As my muffin liners were small I had to bake it in 2 batches, 6 in each batch so got 12 small muffins.
- Use curd at room temperature. Do not try to reduce oil and curd.
- Also after the batter is ready, don’t allow the batter to sit for more than the preheating time as baking soda reacts faster.
- Don’t be skeptical in using curd, the taste of curd is totally not shown in the muffins. You can use homemade curd or store bought curd which is very thick and works good too.
- You can use icing sugar too, I used normal sugar only. I felt 3/4 cup of sugar was enough but the original recipe called for 1 cup. If you have a very sweet tooth then use 1 cup of sugar.
- This recipe yields 12 small muffins or 6 large muffins.
Serving and Storage
The muffins tastes great on its own. Enjoy the muffins with tea or coffee. These keeps well in room temperature for 2 days.

SHARMILEE J
Not sure why….but only if it is overbaked it will turn out hard
Kookie
Hi…. its a winner recipe. Look good and taste lovely…super soft. I have some queries for you. Hope you dont mind. My choco chips sank to the bottom- dont know what went wrong. ofcourse , this did not spoil the taste of the cupcakes! the other thing is, if we use paper cups for the cakes, do we still need to bake them in tins or can we bake in the paper cup itself? If i want to make chocolate choco chip cupcakes, in what proportion do i add cocoa powder?
Sorry, for so many questions.Thanks a lot
SHARMILEE J
If the choco chips sink to the bottom then next time may be mix a tsp of flour with it and then add this will avoid sinking to the bottom….If you use muffin liners(papercups) then you can bake the cake in muffin tray as I have did…Please check my choco cupcakes recipe that I have already posted…
Kookie
Hi..i tried the muffins. They turned out nice. Only one prob… the batter fitted into 15 small cup moulds..and my oven can take in only 9 at a time. What do u think i should do in future…make half the amount of batter, or first bake one batch and the the other? Making the batter two will be a bit of a hassle , hai na ?
SHARMILEE J
Its better to bake it once the batter is prepared if it rests then the cake iwll not rise….Kindly check my notes section
Devika Sekhar

SHARMILEE J

Nidhi Arora
Hii there… Very nice n easy to make recipe. I tried it and the taste was good but the muffins became hard at the top. Also they were oily unlike the ones u have shown as pics. Can u suggest something to improve? I used d exact recipe… Thanks ya..
SHARMILEE J
If it is hard on the top may be its overbaked, try changing the rack and next time may be you can reduce the baking time by 5-7mins. Reg oil, I am not really sure as I havent found any issues as this the base recipe I am using for most of my bakes.
