Want fresh, warm muffins but don’t have time for measuring a dozen ingredients? These Bisquick chocolate chip muffins are about to become your new favorite. They go from pantry to table in just 20 minutes with that delicious bakery muffin taste!
What I love about these muffins isn’t just their convenience (though that’s undoubtedly a win). It’s how they manage to be perfectly tender and moist despite taking so little effort. Bisquick creates the ideal muffin texture, neither too dense nor too cakey.
I used to think using a baking mix was cheating, but then I had kids and discovered the necessity of clever shortcuts! These muffins taste completely homemade, and no one will ever guess your time-saving secret, unless, of course, you share.
These muffins work for breakfast, after-school snacks, or dessert. The chocolate chips get all melty and gooey, making these an irresistible treat.
Let me show you the simple steps to make these Bisquick chocolate chip muffins. Whether you’re a beginner baker or just looking for an easy dessert, these muffins are foolproof!

Ingredient Notes
For exact amounts needed see the recipe card below
- Bisquick
- Sugar
- Milk
- Butter
- Egg
- Vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips: Semi-sweet are my go-to, but feel free to use milk chocolate if you prefer sweeter muffins. My kids like it when I use mini chips because they get chocolate in every bite!
How to Make Bisquick Chocolate Chip Muffins
- Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. While it’s heating, either grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Melt your butter now, too – it needs a little time to cool.
- In a medium bowl, mix the Bisquick and sugar.
- In a separate measuring cup, combine the milk, cooled melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour your wet ingredients into the bowl with your dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
- Fold in most of those chocolate chips! Save a small handful for topping the muffins.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway. Sprinkle those reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Put them in your preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (ignore any melted chocolate on the toothpick, though!).
Serving Ideas
These Bisquick chocolate chip muffins are perfect for any time of day! You can eat them for breakfast on busy mornings and pack them in lunchboxes, too. They’re ideal when slightly warm, with the chocolate chips still a bit melty.
Here are some of my other favorite ways to serve them:
- Pair them with a cold glass of milk for an after-school snack.
- Add them to your brunch spread alongside some fresh fruit.
- Pack them for picnics or road trips (they’re way better than gas station snacks!).
- Heat them for about 10 seconds in the microwave to restore that fresh-baked taste.
How to Store
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days. I like to place a paper towel at the bottom of the container to absorb any excess moisture.
These also freeze well. Let the muffins cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe container or a zip-top bag. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave them on the counter overnight or microwave them for about 30 seconds.
Tips & Tricks
Be sure to check out the step by step instructions
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until they’re combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine – they’ll bake out. Overmixing results in dense, chewy muffins rather than light and fluffy ones.
- Reserve about two tablespoons of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking. This gives you that bakery-style look with visible chips on top, plus it helps you see which muffins might need more chips!
- Any type of chocolate chip works well in this recipe. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark chocolate, butterscotch chips – use whatever you’ve got.
Reader Questions
Yes! I’ve successfully made these muffins with almond milk and oat milk. Just keep the measurement the same at ⅔ cup.
Absolutely! Use a mini muffin tin and reduce the baking time to about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them starting at 9 minutes.
Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If you see wet batter, they need more time. If you hit a chocolate chip, try testing another spot!
