Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉/218℃. Line the muffin liners with 12 liners and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add in flour, cinnamon, salt, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a spatula, mix until just completely combined.
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt
  • In a large bowl, whisk butter, oil, egg, egg yolk, vanilla, buttermilk, and white sugar. Whisk until well combined.
    1 cup white sugar, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 1/4 unsalted butter, 1/3 cup oil, 1 cup buttermilk*, 1 tbsp vanilla
  • Toss in the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix until just completely combined.
  • Mix in the mini chocolate chips until just combined. Don't over-mix!
    3/4 cups mini chocolate chips
  • Evenly divide the batter between 12 liners, they should be almost or all the way full. Using a cookie scooper helps big time to minimize the mess. Sprinkle some extra mini chocolate chips and white sugar on top. This will give you a crisp muffin top we all love.
  • Bake the muffins at 425°F for 5 minutes, then turn down to 350°F and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes. The muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted comes out dry with no wet batter.
  • These muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week!

Notes

*For the buttermilk - You can also use full fat kefir or plain yogurt. To make buttermilk, stir 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar. Allow to sit on your counter for at least 10 minutes before using.
