   Time: PT2M

2. Mix wet ingredients

   In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with the granulated sugar until the mixture lightens slightly. Add the melted butter (cooled to room temperature) and whisk again. Finally, stir in the milk and vanilla extract.

   Time: PT3M

3. Combine wet and dry mixtures

   Add half of the dry ingredient mixture to the wet bowl and stir gently until just incorporated. Add the remaining dry mixture and stir again, being careful not to over‑mix.

   Time: PT2M

4. Portion batter into liners

   Line the muffin tin with paper liners. Using a spoon or ice‑cream scoop, fill each liner three‑quarters full. Sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin for a decorative finish.

   Time: PT2M

5. Initial high‑heat bake

   Place the tin in a pre‑heated oven at 200 °C and bake for 5 minutes. This burst of heat helps the muffins rise quickly.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 200°C

6. Finish baking at lower temperature

   Reduce the oven temperature to 175 °C and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean but still slightly moist.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 175°C

7. Cool and serve

   Remove the tin from the oven, let the muffins rest in the tin for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

   Time: PT2M
