This chocolate chip muffin recipe provides bakery-style muffins with high muffin tops. The essential ingredients that result in these elevated desserts are the baking powder and baking soda: they act as leaveners to create a risen dome on the muffins. It is also recommended that you use mini chocolate chips, as they disperse throughout more evenly than regular-sized chocolate chips. Try this recipe – they are super easy to make and they are a great addition to any holiday party!
