I love Homemade Chocolate Chip Muffins, especially these moist, full of chips muffins with the perfect crumb topping. This muffin recipe is perfect for Breakfast or even with a cup of coffee or tea as an afternoon snack.

Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

When I first came to Italy there was not a muffin in site and for someone like me who loves muffins, that was tough.

Hell, there wasn’t even chocolate chips!! I used to smash plain chocolate with a hammer to make my own chopped chocolate.

Well now it’s a little bit easier but I am still making this delicious Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe. I love one in the morning with my coffee and my husband likes his dunked in his caffe latte.

How to make the Perfect Muffins

  • Be sure to mix your wet ingredients and your dry ingredients separately.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and then mix.
  • Do not over mix 16-18 turns and no more.
  • Do not over fill the cups 3/4 full is perfect.
  • Bake at a higher heat for 5 minutes then lower the heat for the remaining bake time.
  • Bake in the middle of the oven.
  • Let cool in pan.

Muffins are the sort of thing that are quick and easy to make, don’t take very long to bake and can be  frozen. And who can say no to a Homemade Chocolate Chip Muffin? Especially with a Crumb Topping!

I have to say Italians don’t think too much about breakfast. A quick cornetto (croissant)  or a couple of Italian biscotti or even a couple of slices of this crunchy Italian Breakfast Bread that I have to admit is delicious.

But me I have to admit a couple of pieces of toast and peanut butter always sounds good to me,  or even a slice of a tasty Cinnamon Raisin Bread .

Or a Homemade Chocolate Chip Muffin! Enjoy.

      Hi, could you use oil instead of butter and if so what would the measurements be?

        Hi Jess, yes you can substitute with oil, and the measurement is the same, 1/3 cup. Hope you like them.
