Ingredients
  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour (where to buy)
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ⅔ cup unbleached pure cane sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 5 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup organic semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup organic mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper or silicone liners.
  2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Combine the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter is combined. Do your best not to overmix it. Fold in the regular-sized chocolate chips.
  5. Scoop the batter into the muffin cups, filling them a little over halfway. Bake for 3 minutes and then reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue to bake for 12-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Serve warm.
