Chocolate Chip Muffins

Steps

• Prep: Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin.
• Dry: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together.
• Wet: Whisk the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla together.
• Combine: Fold the wet into the dry just until the flour disappears, then fold in the chocolate chips with a few more strokes.
• Bake: Divide among the muffin cups, filling nearly to the top, and bake at 220°C (425°F) for 5 minutes.

  Tip: This hot start is what pushes the tops up into a dome rather than spreading flat — don't skip straight to the lower temperature.

• Bake: Without opening the oven, reduce the temperature to 180°C (355°F) and continue baking until a skewer comes out clean.
