Add some finishing touches

To add an extra touch of magic to your chocolate chip muffins, sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar or coarse sugar on top just before baking. Alternatively, you can create a delightful streusel topping using a mixture of flour, butter, brown sugar, and a dash of cinnamon. Simply crumble the streusel over the muffin batter before baking, and enjoy the delightful crunch it adds to each bite. These finishing touches will take your muffins to the next level.
