👩🍳 How To Make Bakery Style Jumbo Chocolate Chip Muffins
Step 1: Prepare The Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a jumbo muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2: Mix The Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Mix The Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, and sugar until combined.
Add eggs and egg yolk, mixing until smooth. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine The Batter
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Toss chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons flour and gently fold into the batter.
Let batter rest for 15–20 minutes for taller muffin tops.
Step 5: Add The Topping
Fill jumbo muffin cups almost to the top.
If using crumb topping, mix all topping ingredients until crumbly and generously sprinkle over muffins.
Top with extra chocolate chips and coarse sugar if desired.
Step 6: Bake
Bake at 425°F for 5–7 minutes.
Without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350°F and continue baking for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Let cool slightly before serving.
