½ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg

Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
Stir in milk, egg, butter, and chocolate chips until combined. Don't overmix!
Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
Notes
For extra flavor, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
Feel free to substitute different types of chocolate chips or add other mix-ins, like nuts or dried fruit.
