When you are working so hard to eat healthily and all you want is chocolate, yup, that’s me. “I want chocolate and I want chocolate right now, everyone out of my way!” That’s basically what lead to me making the latest batch of chocolate chip muffins.

If you are in the mood for some other snack, or maybe you think supper before snacking is a good idea, you can check out some of the great ones in my recipe box, where you’ll also find these chocolate chip muffins for later.
This muffin recipe is super simple to make, making it perfect for helping hands.
What You Need:
- 1 1/2 c flour
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c unsweetened applesauce or canola oil
- 1/4 c milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 c chocolate chips
How to make Chocolate Chip Muffins:
The simple version of this recipe is: Add all ingredients together, minus the chocolate chips and mix well.
I like to cream together with my oil and sugar, then add in eggs and mix that together for at least a minute before continuing to add the remaining ingredients.
The batter is very thick. Once mixed thoroughly, fold in your chocolate chips.
Scoop your batter into well grease muffin tins, or use cupcake liners, I prefer to use these silicone cupcake liners.
Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes. My muffins below were in for 15 minutes.
These beautiful, tasty chocolate chip muffins popped out of the muffin tin easily. And popped into waiting hands and mouths just as easily.

*I make this recipe in two different ways. I like to sometimes use unsweetened apple sauce in place of the oil. It makes them slightly heavier, and healthier.
My husband, Blake, will not eat them if I used applesauce, but my kids and I still love them.
