Chocolate Chip Caramel Muffins Recipe

How do you keep chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of muffins?

Toss them in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter. Stir the chips in last.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?

Heavy cream adds richness, but milk can work in a pinch. The texture may be slightly less creamy.

How should I store these muffins?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes! Freeze the muffins (without the drizzle) for up to 3 months. Thaw and add the chocolate and caramel drizzle before serving.

Can I add nuts or other mix-ins?

Absolutely! Chopped pecans or walnuts pair beautifully with the caramel and chocolate flavors.
