Chocolate Chip Muffins

Everyone loves chocolate, right? Well, okay, maybe not everyone but you could always substitute the chocolate chips any other flavour of chips or for fresh or frozen berries or even raisins. They all go well in this basic muffin recipe. I used carob chips to make these. They are yummy and won't last long... Enjoy! 

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Makes approximately 10 medium muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
3 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare muffin tin with non-stick spray or muffin cups. 

In a large bowl, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips. Make a well in the middle of this and set aside. 

In a smaller bowl, mix together the milk, oil and egg. Pour this into the well of the flour mixture and blend, only until mixed. Do not over-mix. The batter will be lumpy. 

Bake muffins for 15-20 minutes, depending on your oven, until the muffin tops spring back when you press lightly on top. 

Remove from muffin pan and let cool completely. Enjoy!
