Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup grapeseed oil or extra light olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar for sugar crust
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar for sugar crust

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 375° and line a muffin tin with baking cups.
  • Mix together the white sugar and the two tablespoon dark brown sugar and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, chocolate chips and kosher salt. In a small bowl whisk the egg, vanilla, grapeseed oil and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix by hand until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Fill the cups two-thirds of the way and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
  • Place the muffin tin on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  • Check mine at the 15 minute mark. The muffins are done when a cake tester comes out clean. Each oven is different, so watch these carefully.
  • Let cool for a minute before removing. Serve while still warm!
