From King Arthur Flour.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1  cup granulated sugar
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2  large eggs
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 2  cups whole wheat flour
• 2  cups chocolate chips
•  coarse  decorator sugar, for topping

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease (or line with muffin cups, and grease the muffin cups) a standard-size muffin pan.
2. Beat together the butter, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time; then stir in the milk. Mix in the flour, then the chocolate chips.
3. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups; they’ll be quite full. Sprinkle each muffin with a little coarse sugar. Bake the muffins for 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out without crumbs clinging to it (a little chocolate is OK!).
