Me VS Muffins- frist recipe share

Hey everyone it's Antoinette and I've had a mighty battle with Muffins the past two days. I've had a muffin base for a few years that was just okay, now with my better knowledge of baking, I'm able to tweak it and make it better. The base wasn't that bad to begin with ...just a bit bland and the muffins would always come out pale in color .
The muffins might have won the battle but I won the war.
Tasty moist muffins with crisp golden brown sides! Breakfast shall be mine!

I'll start out with the original recipe:
Chocolate chip muffin recipe 

2- cups chocolate chips
2- eggs
2- cups all purpose flour
1- cup sugar
1/2- cup of whole milk
1/2- stick of unsalted butter
2- tsp of baking powder
1- tsp vanilla extract
1/2- tsp kosher salt

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F and grease you muffin pan (I use baking PAM)
2. Mix the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and set aside.
3. Add the 1 tsp of vanilla to the milk and set aside.
4. Beat together in a stand mixer the butter, sugar and the eggs  till mostly smooth.
5. Alternate between adding the flour mix and the milk mix a time.
6. Scrap down the bowl and add the rest of the flour mix and milk mix.
7. Add the chips and fold them in ( the machine can break the chips after a few rotations )
8. Fill pan and bake for 30 minutes until semi firm in the center

End product was pale okish tasting muffins .

Now for the New and Improved recipe:
Chocolate chip muffin recipe

1- cup chocolate chips semi sweet
2- eggs
2- cups of all purpose flour
1- cup sugar
1/2- cup whole milk
1 - whole stick of unsalted butter
2- tsp baking powder
2- tsp vanilla extract
1/2- tsp kosher salt


1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F and grease you muffin pan (I use baking PAM)
2. Mix the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and set aside.
3. Add the 2 tsp of vanilla to the milk and set aside.
4. Beat together in a stand mixer the butter, sugar and the eggs  till mostly smooth.
5. Alternate between adding the flour mix and the milk mix a time.
6. Scrap down the bowl and add the rest of the flour mix and milk mix.
7. Add the chips and fold them in ( the machine can break the chips after a few rotations )
8. Fill pan and bake for 25 minutes until semi firm in the center.

Yield depends on the size of pan I get 11 from a 12 standard cupcake pan

Result was tasty golden moist muffins!
