Ingredients

For the Streusel

¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
6 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
¾ cup all-purpose flour

For the Muffins

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1½ cups granulated sugar
6 Tbsp unsalted butter softened
½ tsp salt
3 large eggs
⅓ cup buttermilk
2 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1½ cups chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling on top

Instructions

For the Streusel

Using a medium bowl, add sugars and melted butter; stir until well combined.
Add the flour; stir until well combined. Set streusel aside.

For the Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Lightly spray a muffin tin with baking spray, or line muffin tin with paper liners.
Using a medium mixing bowl, add flour and baking powder; stir until well combined. Set mixture aside.
Using an electric mixer, cream together sugar, butter and salt until light and fluffy (~3-4 minutes on medium speed).
Using a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, vanilla and oil. Pour liquid mixture into bowl of mixer in 2 additions, mixing well after each addition.
Add flour mixture and mix on low until well combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin tin. (See note.)
Crumble the streusel mixture evenly on top of the muffins.
Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of the streusel.
Bake for 36-38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.

Notes

I used larger tulip-style muffin liners, and I filled each liner up to the top of the pan. (Tulip-style liners stick up above the baking pan.) Regular liners are smaller, so I would recommend filling them only ~¾ full. This recipe will then yield more muffins (you’ll need 2 pans) and you’ll need to reduce the baking time.
