Ingredients
All-purpose flour
Granulated sugar

Baking soda
Salt
Ground cinnamon
Unsalted butter (melted)
Vegetable oil
Eggs
Buttermilk or Greek yogurt
Milk
Vanilla extract
Chocolate chunks or chocolate chips (mini and regular)
Coarse sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and a pinch of cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, combine melted butter, oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, mixing until well combined.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Stir in buttermilk (or Greek yogurt) and vanilla extract.
6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
7. Fold in a mixture of mini and regular chocolate chips or chunks.
8. Let the batter rest for 15-60 minutes for a fluffier texture.
9. Fill muffin cups almost to the top with batter.
10. Sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a bakery-style crunch.
11. Bake at 425°F for 5-7 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 15-18 minutes.
12. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
13. Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
14. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
15. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
Notes
Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes before baking to achieve a fluffier texture.
Start baking at 425°F, then lower to 350°F to help the muffins rise tall with a bakery-style dome.
Top with coarse sugar for a crunchy, golden finish that adds texture and sweetness.
