Chocolate Muffins

Chocolate is yummy!  Yes it is yummy for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks between breakfast and lunch, between snacks, between lunch and dinner, between snacks again, after dinner and maybe just maybe (if you exercised today) before bed!  I just love a good cup of hot chocolate!
So needless to say, I had to try these muffins!
They were yummy and chocolaty and a great breakfast treat!
Chocolate muffin and a grapefruit!
Yes that was my breakfast yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Chocolate Muffins
(found on pinterest from www.mybakingaddiction.com)
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin or place liners in your pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar, and 3/4 cup chocolate chips.

In a medium bowl, combine the milk, oil, egg, and vanilla.  Whisk to combine.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.  There will be lumps because your chocolate chips are in there!

Divide your batter among your muffin cups.  Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top.

Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until muffins are done, spongy and risen.  They totally remind me of the Costco muffins, only smaller!
