Chocolate Muffins

Chocolate Muffins

Chocolate Muffins are great for a sinful breakfast or mid-day snack. 

INGREDIENTS

1 ¾ Cups Unbleached Flour

2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

½ Teaspoon Baking Soda

2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

¾ Cup Sugar

1 Cup Chocolate Chips

1 Cup Buttermilk or Sour Milk

1/3 Cup Plus 2 Teaspoons Vegetable Oil

1 Large Egg

2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preheat the oven to 400° F.  You will need a muffin tin and paper muffin cases. 

In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar and chocolate chips.  In a medium sized bowl combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg and vanilla extract.  Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and mix, but don’t over mix.  A lumpy batter makes the best muffins.  Spoon into the prepared muffin cases and bake for 20 minutes or until the muffins are dark, risen and springy.  Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.  Serve with butter, cream cheese or plain.  Makes 12 muffins
