Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 15 oz white cake mix
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

• ⅔ cup milk
• ⅓ cup oil
• 2 large eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, oil, and eggs. Whisk these together until well blended to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
3. Add Cake Mix: Gradually add the white cake mix to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. It’s fine if the batter remains a bit lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep muffins light.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up.
5. Fill Muffin Cups: Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for rising.
6. Optional Topping: Sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin for added texture and visual appeal.
7. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

• Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage.
• You can customize the muffins by adding mix-ins such as nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
• Do not overmix the batter, mixing just until combined to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
• Use room temperature eggs and milk to achieve a better rise and more even batter consistency.
• Measure ingredients accurately to maintain the correct batter balance and texture.
