Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

Brunch is the ultimate casual dining experience where breakfast meats lunch in the best way way possible. It's a great chance to gather together with family or friends while indulging in the delicious combination of foods.🥐🍓🥞🥙 🥂 And there's just something about kicking off a morning sitting behind a giant stack of buttermilk pancakes or fruit topped waffles that makes facing the day, seem a whole lot easier.

If you ask me, the best part of any brunch are the sweet treats. There's just so many options: pastries, croissants, donuts, muffins, coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls, biscotti, scones, sweet rolls, fruit tarts and sweet breads - oh my. My mouth started watering while I was typing the list.😂 As much as I try and deny it - I will always be drawn to the sugar at a brunch buffet. #sweettoothproblems

I've decided to wrap up brunch week on the blog with one of my favorite treats: Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins. I've spent so many hours trying to perfect my chocolate chip muffin recipe over the last few years that if I'm being honest - it's probably added up to days of my life. A recipe experiment that my husband particularly enjoys I might add.🤣

These Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins will officially be the sixth chocolate chip muffin recipe in my recipe index.😅 And yes, I realize that's a lot of recipes for one type of muffin but sometimes that's what it takes to get it just right.
