Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe – Bakery Style!
This post may contain affiliate links (disclosure).
These homemade chocolate chip muffins rival any bakery muffins. They are big tall muffins with a tender crumb, and you can taste delicious chocolate chips with every bite!
If your past attempts at making muffins at home produced sad little muffins that taste nothing like the muffins from the bakery, you just have to give this recipe a try. You’ll be amazed at the huge perfect muffins that come out of your oven, and you’ll be saying to yourself “I can’t believe I just made these!” This is the only chocolate chip muffin recipe you will ever need, you’ll never want to try another recipe after you make these amazing muffins.
Making these bakery-style muffins is surprisingly easy. You just mix dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another bowl, then combine them and pour in the muffin tin. This literally takes less than 10 minutes, then you bake them and the muffins are ready! All the ingredients are common – flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt eggs, butter, vanilla and chocolate chips – just all natural goodness. No special baking skills are required – psst, let this be our little secret :)
On the picture below, the chocolate chips are still melted as the muffin hasn’t yet cooled down :) Can you imagine biting into this muffin – still warm from the oven, and the chocolate chips inside are still hot and melty! And as you can see, I don’t skimp on chocolate chips :) Whenever I look at this picture, I get an intense craving for these muffins and need them right now!
My favorite way of eating these delicious bakery-style muffins is for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Coffee with baked goods is my weakness… especially when the chocolate chips are added to the mix! This muffin is large enough and substantial to be a stand-alone breakfast. And if you want more protein, you can have a side of sausage, bacon or your favorite cheese!

Love how quick and easy these are, and those chunks of chocolate are calling my name!!
Those chunks are amazing, my favorite ones are the dark chocolate chips! If I have these muffins the next day, I warm them in a microwave so the chocolate chips get warm and gooey!
I do love homemade muffins. These muffins look and sound great and I love how they have an abundance of chocolate chips xx
When I make muffins myself, I’m so happy to be able to control the amount of chocolate chips, as the store-bought ones are often skimpy on the chocolate!
I LOVE muffins, truly love them. But I always hated not being able to get them like the ones in the bakery at home. These look perfect! Love those high tops!
What I also really like about this recipe is the high tops! In the past I’ve had some muffin recipes where the tops deflated, but these muffin tops stay big – delicious!
These muffins look perfect. Love the soft and moist texture.
Thanks Angie! Yes, you can see the texture on the pic where I cut the muffin in half – the texture is truly great!
That looks like a picture perfect distribution of chocolate chips Melanie!! :D
When you have 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips, they just have to distribute themselves all over the muffins :)
Love chocolate chip muffins and they look huge, must try since I usually get those puny flat tops.
I used to get the flat ones too until this recipe! Give it a try and please let me know how they turn out :)
Please send me half a dozen! They look amazing :)
Thanks Tandy! Gotta send some chocolate chip muffins to South Africa now, LOL!
I have to admit, chocolate chips in muffins have it all over blueberries any day of the week. (Don’t tell the blueberries I said that!) Love these!
Me too! Cocoa comes from a plant, so I guess that makes chocolate a fruit :) My favorite fruit that is!
Chocolate chip muffins are my favorite! I absolutely adore these.
Thanks Nicole! Me too :)
I usually choose blueberry muffins because that’s what I grew up with but these muffins look amazing. You’re right, they look like they came from the bakery.
I’m sure you can substitute chocolate chips with blueberries :) In fact, you just gave me an idea – next time I’ll make this muffin recipe with blueberries and post the result on this blog!
Muffins are such a great treat and you make it look easy to make ones better than the bakery at home!!
Thanks Laura! Yes, muffins are one of the easiest baked goods to make – just mix the ingredients, put in the muffin tins and bake :) You should give this recipe a try!
These are very, very good but have question. They were done about 23 minutes or so…checking with toothpick but not has dark on top as I would like. I was concerned that if I left in too long would really start to get over cooked and dry?
All ovens vary, but yes, overcooking by more than 5 minutes can dry them out. Next time if you bake them on the top oven shelf, that will help the tops brown more.
Wow – all those comments and only one other person actually made these? Normally I stay away from recipes like that…if no one made them you can’t get an idea if the recipe will work for you or not. Today however I took a leap of faith and tried these. I did make one change mind you – I added 2 tsp of instant coffee crystals to the milk and then heated it a bit (forgot to take it out earlier to get to room temp). The coffee with the chocolate chips is soo good! I’m glad I decided to try this, these turned out very yummy!
I used King Arthur gluten free flour. Sprinkled sugar on top before baking. So good. My family loved them!!!
These were the perfect 13 year old post sleepover breakfast! Thanks for the recipe! The girls loved them!
Good muffins…yield 16 muffins. Did not bake as long as 15 minutes – perhaps my oven is hotter than most. I wonder if 1/2 cup milk & 1/2 oil vs 1 cup milk would, perhaps, make them more moist.
Finally, a muffin recipe that lives up to its hype! Perfect texture and flavor!
Just made these and they’re AMAZING! Warm chocolate chips are the best.
