COPYCAT PANERA BREAD MUFFIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats
• In a large bowl, add the butter, oil, and sugar. Mix the batter with an electric mixer at high speed.
• Add the egg, vanilla, and beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl to incorporate.
• Add flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and beat to just incorporate; don't overmix.
• Add the milk and yogurt. Beat until incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
• Chill the batter for 15 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the batter onto the sheets. Make sure to have at least 3 to 4 inches between them. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until they start to brown on the edges and a toothpick comes out clean.
• Allow the muffins tops to cool for 10 minutes before enjoying.

PANERA CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats if you have them
• Measure the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar at high speed until creamy.
• Add the egg, vanilla, and continue to mix
• In a separate bowl, add in the dry ingredients - all purpose flour, salt, ground cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda, and combine by hand - use a large wooden spoon or spatula, but be careful not to overmix.
• Mix in the milk and sour cream, until they are incorporated into the muffin batter
• The last step is to add the mini chocolate chips and mix in gently.
• Chill the batter for 20 to 25 minutes in the refrigerator.( I put the batter back into the refrigerator during baking)
• Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to scoop the batter onto the sheets.
• Keep about 2 - 3 inches between the muffies as they will spread while baking.
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes until golden. I found that 15 minutes exactly was the right time for my chocolate chip muffies, but your oven might need less or more. Start with 10 minutes and then add time if needed.
• Place the muffin tops on a cookie rack to cool, and pop the next tray into the oven!
