Chocolate Chip Muffins {Take Two!}

Hello!

While I have made plenty of delicious recipes over the past couple of years, there’s only a handful that I would call my personal favorites; with dozens of batches made and eaten, chocolate chip muffins have rightfully earned a spot on that list! :) I have shared a recipe for chocolate chip muffins before, but a whole new recipe called for another post – and better photos. Muffins, especially these ones, are easy to whip up and yield the best results. Eat one for a quick on-the-go breakfast, or try shrinking them down in miniature muffin pans for a small snack. Before heading to the kitchen to make your own, please remember that the best muffins are the least mixed {trust me!}. Finally, I often choose mini chocolate chips over the normal morsels, which I find weigh down my batch. These muffins couldn’t get any simpler, so let’s get baking, yes?!

ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk {I usually use skim, although regular or buttermilk would work as well.}
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips {Dark, semi-sweet, milk – whatever works best for you! :)}

to make

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In another bowl, stir together the eggs and sugar. Add in the milk, oil, and vanilla.
4. Make a well in the center of the dry batter. Pour in the wet ingredients, and combine everything together by hand, taking care not to overmix.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Spray or line 15 muffin cups.
7. Scoop out the batter into the muffin cups, filling each one to the top.
8. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375ºF, and continue to bake for 25 minutes. The tops should be lightly golden.
9. Let the muffins cool completely in pan before removal. Enjoy!

Have a terrific Monday!
