Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the sugar and mix all together.

Mix the eggs with the milk.

Add the flour mixture on top (dry ingredients) without overworking it. Don't try to smooth the batter, it doesn't matter if there are a few lumps left. This is the secret to plump muffins.

Add the melted butter and mix.

Add whatever you want to the batter according to your taste. I splitted the batter in two.

For the chocolate chip muffins, I added chocolate chips and orange zest. I filled the cups three-quarters full and added some chips on top

For the praline muffins, I mixed a spoonful of praline into the batter, then I filled them with Nutella. I filled the muffin molds halfway and placed a small frozen balls of Nutella on top. I covered the all with the batter up to three quarters.

Bake for about 20 minutes, depending on your oven. A skewer inserted into the center should come out dry.

Enjoy them warm if you like the melting of the chocolate chips

Below are the hazelnut muffins filled with Nutella.

I hope you will enjoy these bakery-style chocolate chip muffins and be inspired to make them.
