Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2½ cups dry pancake mix (360 grams)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (227 grams)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (57 grams, ½ stick)
- 2 large eggs (100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
Add-ins
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (170 grams), plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Tin: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 12-count standard muffin tin with nonstick spray or line with paper liners, then set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix gently just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Using a portion scoop or spoon, fill each muffin well about ¾ full with the batter. Top each with additional chocolate chips if desired for an extra chocolatey topping.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
- Additional mix-ins like nuts or berries can be added in place of or along with chocolate chips.
- Muffins keep well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can also freeze baked muffins for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
