This is so chocolaty it was hard to photograph. Use good quality, pure chocolate chips just any other chocolate chip will not do. I got the version of this recipe more than twenty years ago from Crestline Daycare. It wasn’t a particularly good day care, but the food they served was always tasty and nutritious.
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
1 cup chocolate chips 2- 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup cocoa, sifted
1-1/2 Tbsp baking powder
3/4 cup butter
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
• Add the butter and with clean hands rub into the flour until well combined.
• Stir in the sifted cocoa.
• In a smaller bowl whisk together the eggs, vanilla and the milk.
• Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
• Stir until dry ingredients are just moistened.
• Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spray the muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake at 400F for 30 minutes, until golden brown.
