Instructions
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the muffin cups.
2. Prepare the Muffin Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks and caramel bits.
3. Bake the Muffins: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Add the Topping: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before drizzling with caramel sauce. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each muffin while the caramel is still warm.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Let the caramel cool and set before serving. Enjoy the Salted Caramel Chocolate Chunk Muffins warm or at room temperature for a delicious treat!
