Tim Hortons Chocolate Chip Muffins
The chocolate chip muffins at Tim Hortons are one of my favorites. Making them at home is easy, and this is now my go-to recipe whenever I’m having a craving. I should give some satisfaction guarantee because these taste really close to the original.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt (use half the amount if you're using table salt)
- ½ cup butter (unsalted, melted)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk (see notes for substitutions)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tray with non-stick cooking spray or use paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Gently fold until they are JUST combined. There should be plenty of lumps.
- Divide the batter among the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F and bake for another 12-15 minutes until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. The toothpick is allowed to have some crumbs on it, but you should not see any wet batter. Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes in the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool. They will keep for about one week in the fridge or five days at room temperature.
Notes
Buttermilk: You can swap buttermilk with any milk, even non-dairy options like almond or oat milk. Just mix it with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to make 1 cup.
