Chocolate chip muffins are small, single-serving sweets that resemble cakes and are served in classic paper cups. Unlike cupcakes , which are often filled with frosting and creams, muffins have a more compact and dry dough and are larger in size. Their surface has a raised dome, which is why these sweets are not filled.
The dry and compact dough, unlike the softer and fluffier cupcakes, is due to the fact that in the process the liquid ingredients are mixed first and then the dry ones.
These irresistible treats combine the softness of the dough with the grit and crunchiness of the chocolate chips, which are generously distributed in the dough, making these muffins truly delicious.
