1 1/4 cups (265 g.) light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
1/2 cup (113 g.) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup (170 g.) semisweet chocolate chips (keep a few to top muffins)

Into the oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of muffins comes out clean

If you do not have buttermilk on hand, just add a tbsp. of lemon or vinegar to regular milk and let stand for about 10 minutes before using
