Batter

  • 8 Tablespoons butter, salted or unsalted (4 ounces; 113 grams)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (9 ounces; 255 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar (5 ¼ ounces; 148 grams)

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Then line it with paper liners.
  • Place the butter in a small skillet or pan. Heat over medium heat. Stir or swirl the pan occasionally until the butter foams and turns light brown.
  • Pour the browned butter into a small heat-proof bowl. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
  • While the butter cools, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add the brown sugar to the cooled brown butter. Mix to combine. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until thick and creamy. Pour the butter mixture and milk into the flour mixture. Stir until a batter forms. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin pan. Top with additional chocolate chips and granulated sugar.
  • Bake until brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin comes out clean, about 22 minutes.
  • To store: cover cooled muffins and keep on the counter for about four days. Or freeze cooled muffins in a freezer container for up to three months.
