How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
