Chocolate Chip Muffins are the perfect dessert for any chocolate lover! Packed with chocolate chips and given a crisp sugared topping, once you try this chocolate chip muffin recipe there will be no going back!

I was at my local Publix last week when lo and behold did I spot a newcomer to the butter section: Country Crock^® Plant Butter. I have been diligently replacing animal products with plant-based products for the past year so I was excited to give it a try. I picked up a tub of the Plant Butter with Almond Oil (they have a variety with olive oil and a variety with avocado oil too!) and headed home.

I decided to put it to the test with my favorite Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe and I can assure you it baked up every bit as good as traditional butter! Yay for a new alternative!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins

If you like chocolate, you are going to love this recipe, I promise! You just need a few ingredients you probably already have on hand:

• flour
• sugar
• baking powder
• salt
• almond milk
• egg
• vanilla extract
• Country Crock^® Plant Butter with Almond Oil
• semisweet chocolate chips
• brown sugar

I love that this recipe is a simple, one bowl recipe…the less dishes I have after baking, the better! The muffins come together quickly.

1. First mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add in the butter, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract and stir to mix.
3. Fold in chocolate chips. (Blogger’s Tip: I save a few chocolate chips to put on the top of the muffins for an extra-pretty final result)
4. Fill a lined muffin pan 2/3 full. Add any extra chocolate chips if you want, then sprinkle with a white sugar and brown sugar mixture. This gives it a crisp topping that is so delicious!
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Indulge in chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate as you devour these muffins!

I mean, can you even believe how many chocolate chips are in these muffins?

I’m so glad I decided to try this new Country Crock^® Plant Butter! It is perfect for recipes, baked and tasted just like butter, and no one in the family was the wiser that I had made a plant-based substitution!
