Notes
Storage
Muffins will keep for a few days when stored in an airtight container.
Can I use Chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips?
Yes, you can use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips. Chop the bars of chocolate into similarly sized chunks.
Can I freeze Chocolate Chip Muffins?
As soon as the muffins have cooled, place them in an airtight container or a large freezer bag, ensuring they are not stuck together, before placing them in the freezer. Bring them to room temperature, or warm them in a moderate oven for a few minutes for that just-baked taste.
How do I stop the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom?
To stop the chocolate pieces from sinking to the bottom of your muffins or any chocolate cake depends on how firm your muffin dough is. A loose or very wet muffin batter will not support the chocolate chips.
