How Different Is This Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe?
In the past, my muffin recipes are mostly made using oil. Muffins made using oil are usually lighter and softer in texture.
This muffin recipe uses creaming of butter and sugar – which results in muffins with more bite! Butter-based muffins, cupcakes and cakes often carries a tighter crumb and are richer in texture, which is great for butter cake lovers!
I am using DIY buttermilk for this recipe, but it is also fine to just use milk.
I find the taste for these muffins richer than my usual ones that uses oil, but still not as moist 🙂
If you prefer moister crumbs, check out some of the muffin recipe links I’ve listed below, which uses oil.
Other than chocolate chips, feel free to swap out using your favourite chips – caramel, peanut butter. Or you can even add chopped fresh or dried fruits to it!

What Can Go Wrong With Muffin Recipes?
Sometimes, we can experience some dry muffins, or “tunnels” in muffins. It can happen during the preparation process.
So for this recipe, ensure that you “loosen” up the softened butter slightly before adding the sugar. You will also need to whisk the butter till light and fluffy (a handheld mixer can do this easily!). If you are using demerara unrefined sugar, make sure you choose the finer grain type.
While folding in the dry ingredients, make sure you do not overmix 🙂
Also, do not overbake them, otherwise they can taste quite dry! Bake till they are evenly browned, and when a skewer inserted into the middle of muffin comes out relatively clean with some dry crumbs.
