BAKERY STYLE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS

I love muffins in the morning. They make a great grab-n-go snack during the day. Semi-sweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chunks. Orange zest for a delicate citrus hint. All mixed into a Greek yogurt batter. You will love the high-tops on these muffins. You can achieve them with my simple tip. I use it every time I make muffins, like my Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins or the Jumbo Chocolate Chip Muffins. It works every time!

TIP FOR MAKING THE BEST BAKERY STYLE MUFFINS:

I have done a little research on baking bakery style muffins. It appears that the trick is in the first 5 minutes of baking. You place the muffins in the oven preheated to 400 degrees and bake them for 5 minutes. The blast of steam creates the high tops fast. Then you decrease the temperature and finish baking the muffins.

    Oh Anna these look absolutely divine. I've always considered muffins as a dessert rather than breakfast but maybe that's a culture difference *shrug* either way I could inhale quite a few of these!

    beautiful muffins. 🙂 filling all the way to the top and an increased initial baking temperature always does the trick. And look at how tall your muffins are Anna! They are sky high. And I love waking up to chocolate for breakfast. These are my kind of muffin! PS: I have and love the CI best recipe cookbook!
