I bought the Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes
This week I wanted to send something to my husband’s office for a treat. Muffins are usually popular, so I decided to see what I could find in the Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes
However, these are definitely not a healthy muffin. They are a treat. I think they would be great as a cupcake with my chocolate frosting. I think I may try them that way next time.
My kids loved these muffins and have requested me to make them again soon.
Chocolate Chip Muffins
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 8 ounces chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 standard 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners; set aside. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
Put butter and sugars into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the milk. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup. Bake until pale golden and a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer muffins to wire racks; let cool completely.
One note though on Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes
Actually, mistakes in cookbooks are more common then you realize. I actually ended up making two batches of these. In the cookbook it calls for 1 cup of milk. I thought this seemed like a lot, but I went ahead and followed it. They turned out good, but not great. Well, a lot of Martha’s recipes are on her website, so I checked to see if this one was. It was there and sure enough it is supposed to have 1/3 cup of milk. I made them again and they turned out really good with 1/3 cup milk. So, I am sure that is the correct about and that is how I posted it.

This looks yummy! I love chocolate in muffins.
These tasted really good but the chocolate chips all sunk to the bottom
@Michelle, I have not had this happen with this recipe, but I have others. Try tossing the chocolate chips in a few tablespoons of the flour. This usually helps this problem.
@Michelle, I should have added that for some reason coating things like chips or raisins in flour, keeps them from sinking. I learned it from my grandmother. However, I don’t usually do it, unless I have had a problem with them sinking.
I tried these muffins out and they came out a little slumped down, like they didnt rise at all, so I checked with other recpies and they usually call for 2 full teaspoons, they were delisious but I want those beauitful muffin tops for Ill add a bit more powder to make them rise
