Oh dear. I thought I had shared these with you earlier. I cannot believe I have been holding out on you for so long! These are so, so delicious. At first when I made them I wasn’t sure they would be as fabulous as I wanted them to be. I had no idea how wrong my initial judgment was. A friend stopped by just as these came out of the oven and I gave her some to take home and share with her husband. I also shared them with my students. We all loved them! Better yet, they are best a few hours after baking because the chocolate has a chance to set up a bit, so these are the perfect muffin to make and take to a brunch or dinner or even to have ready a couple of hours before the kids come home. As for breakfast the next day? They are not quite as healthy as these oatmeal chocolate chip muffins, but they are just as tasty. Make these. You won’t be disappointed!

These muffins are simple yet delicious.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Set a rack on the middle level of the oven and preheat to 375F.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
- Pour the butter into a mixing bowl and thoroughly whisk in the egg. Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Whisk about one third of the flour mixture into the liquid until the liquid is absorbed. Whisk in another third, again until the liquid is absorbed. Use a rubber spatular to fold in the last third of the flour mixture.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and distribute the batter into the muffin cups. Sprinkle the muffins with the 2 tbsp of sugar.
- Bake the muffins until they are well risen and golden and the point of a knife inserted in the center of one emerges dry, about 20 minutes.
- Cool the muffins in the pan on a rack and lift them out only after they have cooled completely. I like these best a few hours after they have come out of the oven or the next morning for breakfast.

Anytime chocolate can be incorporated into a breakfast food is a definite win for me.
These look delicious, and like how full of chocolate chips they are.

My husband loves banana muffins so I made him a batch when we first got together – although I’ve always put chocolate chips in my muffins – wouldn’t even think of leaving them out.
He thought I was crazy! Chips rule!
