Chocolate Chip Muffins

Muffins have always been a go to breakfast favorite. Every time I tried to make them at home I was disappointed that they never turned out like the bakery’s. After several years of research and testing, I have finally perfected the perfect bakery muffin from home.

Though this recipe is long, it is well worth it. The streusel topping adds the bakery finish we all look for in a muffin and the shell is perfectly crunchy while the inside is moist and flavorful. If you decide to not add the streusel you can add course sugar to the top of the batter before baking to help achieve the bakery feel.

I have attempted to make this recipe scalable by using 1/2 cup measurements where ever possible.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. With my tips and tricks you will be able to share these amazing muffins with friends, family, and coworkers in a short amount of time.
