I\u2019ll be returning to this one. Often. Leave it to King Arthur Flour. I know I said it before and I\u2019ll say it again. I ad\u2665re them! They always have what I\u2019m looking for and never fail me.\nThe chocolate chips stay suspended in the batter instead of sinking to the bottom like chocolate chips are sometimes known to do.\nI can\u2019t help but admire them for that.\n\nPlus, they\u2019re packed to the hilt, enough so you get more than one in every, single, chocolate-filled bite.\nThey have this crackly, crusty, buttery outside that is dreamy to bite into.\n\nHave you ever wondered what makes a muffin not a cupcake? And a cupcake not a muffin? I have. It keeps me up at night. My theory is based on the experience of eating lots of them and doesn\u2019t take into account any culinary science (that might have everything and nothing at all to do with it).\nFrom what I can tell it depends on the crumb of the cake. Muffins have a more substantial, dense crumb and cupcakes a smaller, more tender crumb. What do you think? It\u2019s something to ponder as you bake yourself the best chocolate chip muffin on the entire earth.\n\n\n    \n    \n      \n        PrintBest Chocolate Chip Muffins\n      \n      Rating: 51\n       Prep Time: 25 minutes  \n    medianet_width = \"728\";\n    medianet_height = \"20\";\n    medianet_crid = \"273073422\";\n    medianet_versionId = \"111299\"; \n    (function() {\n        var isSSL = 'https:' == document.location.protocol;\n        var mnSrc = (isSSL ?
