These homemade Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins are sure to please! You can’t beat the soft, fluffy texture, perfect amount of sweetness, and delicious chocolate flavor! They come together in a snap, but taste like a gourmet bakery treat. These muffins essentially taste like a cakey, super soft chocolate chip cookie. They are perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, and especially for dessert!

Baking muffins has become one of my absolute favorite hobbies. There’s something about recreating the taste and texture of a bakery style muffin! Not to mention, enjoying a delicious muffin with coffee in the morning is one of life’s greatest pleasures. I recently found some tulip paper cups that I can’t wait to try with my next batch of muffins, stay tuned!

The Muffin Batter

This recipe begins with softened butter creamed together with granulated sugar. While mixing, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease a standard muffin tin or line with paper cups. After about 2 minutes on medium speed, the mixture will be light and fluffy.

Creamed Butter and Sugar

Next, beat in 2 large eggs and the tablespoon of vanilla extract. I love the vanilla extract from Costco, the quality is excellent and one bottle lasts a whole year!

Adding Eggs and Vanilla

Continue mixing on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter has a consistent texture.

Creamed Wet Ingredients in Mixing Bowl

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt together.

Dry Ingredients in Bowl

To finish the batter, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the cup of sour cream to the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix!

Combined Raw Muffin Ingredients

Gently stir 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips into the prepared batter. Using a large cookie scoop, transfer the batter evenly into the wells of your prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips evenly on top of each muffin. Gently tap to help them adhere, if needed.

Muffin Batter in Pan

Bake at 375 degrees for 17-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out nearly clean, with light crumbs. Be careful not to overbake! Let the muffins rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
