Bakery Style Muffin Tops

What’s the secret to a perfect muffin top? Well, its the baking technique and the placement of the batter in the muffin tin. First, make sure to use a 12 well muffin tin, so you can get more muffins done at once. Then, fill every other well completely full of batter. By leaving some of the tin empty, it allows more warm air to travel between each muffin.

Bake at 425F (220C) for 5 minutes, then pull your tray slightly out of the oven, far enough that you can sprinkle with extra chocolate chips. The high temp creates an early rise in your batter for those domed muffin tops. Slide back into the oven, lower temperature to 350F (180C) for 23-25 minutes. Muffins are baked when they spring back softly when poked with your finger.

Tips for Amazing Chocolate Chip Muffins

• Butter the top and individual muffin tin wells. (you can also give a light coating of baking spray)
• Use All Purpose Enriched Flour for a super tender crumb!!! (trust me its worth it)
• Light brown sugar adds moisture and flavor, don’t substitute.
• Use melted, but still warm coconut oil.
• Add the solid dark chocolate to the warm coconut oil, stir until melted and creamy. (Use baking quality dark chocolate.)
• Combine melted butter, coconut oil with dark chocolate, and the sugar mixing until smooth.
• Add eggs, milk, and vanilla then mix again.
• Spoon in your flour mixture while mixing on low until a perfect batter is formed.
• Fold in chocolate chips, saving some to top the muffins.
• Make sure to follow temperature settings for perfect rounded muffins!
• Store in an air tight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
