Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 35 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12 muffins

Necessary ingredients:

- 3 large eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 150 ml milk
- 75 ml oil (preferably sunflower or canola)
- 125 g butter (melted and cooled)
- 400-450 g flour (approximately, depending on the desired consistency)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (approximately 10 g)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 30 g coconut (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 3-4 tablespoons chocolate chips (or more, to taste)

Preparation method:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients on a work surface. Make sure the butter is melted and allowed to cool slightly. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and prepare a muffin tin, greased with butter or lined with paper liners.

2. Beating the eggs: In a large bowl, beat the 3 eggs together with the sugar, using a whisk or an electric mixer. This step is essential to incorporate air into the mixture, which will make your muffins fluffy.

3. Adding the wet ingredients: Add the melted butter, oil, and milk to the beaten egg mixture. Stir gently until combined. It is important not to add the wet ingredients when the butter is too hot, to avoid cooking the eggs.

4. Incorporating the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. It is recommended to sift these ingredients to avoid lumps. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing, or your muffins will become tough.

5. Flavoring the batter: Finally, add the vanilla essence, coconut (if using), and chocolate chips. Stir gently to avoid breaking the chocolate chips.

6. Baking the muffins: Fill the muffin cups with the batter, leaving a little space at the top to allow the muffins to rise. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes or until the muffins are golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cooling and serving: Once baked, let the muffins cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. You can serve them plain, or you can add a topping of melted chocolate for a decadent look.

Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of chocolate chips: dark chocolate, white chocolate, or milk chocolate, depending on your preferences.
- If you want an even more intense flavor, you can add some chopped nuts or dried fruits to the batter.
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for a few days, but they are most delicious when consumed fresh.

These chocolate chip muffins are not only a simple recipe but also a wonderful way to treat yourself, being ideal for any occasion. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea and savor every bite!
