This Chocolate Chip Muffins is a recipe post from my daughter, Hope. She’s been playing with muffin recipes for a few months now. Some, she will be the first to tell you, have been total flops. But she has persevered and created what I think to be quite perfect in the way of muffins. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we have. It’s fun being a taste tester for a change. 😉

The perfect Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe to get your day started orto take a break and enjoy them for an afternoon snack.

Muffins can betricky. Some people may hear the word “muffins” and think healthy cupcake, therefore most places that sell muffins cover them in chocolate, drench them with powdered sugar, fill them with cream cheese or other goodness deserving of a full-blown dessert, while othersthink of them as lumps of gluten, bran and mushy fruit.Which usually meansone is left tochoose betweenmuffins drowning in sugar coatings, or visit the“healthy”muffin mongers who sell basically pastry rocks.Where’s the happy, tasty medium?

In addition, my personal problem is that I like muffins as a breakfast food, meaning my coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, so any attempt at baking before waking comes from a plastic bag that says “just add water.”

Yesterday I said no more! No more sickly sweet dessert or dry,rock-likemuffins, and no more complicated recipes that require threecups of Joe to be awake enough tocomprehend.

This muffin recipe is so simple and delicious. You’ll have them baking in the oven and filling the house with wonderful scents within minutes. And that’s something certainly lovely to wake up to in my book.

A few Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe notes:

• If you like to bake with whole wheat flour, we have made these using unbleached white whole wheat flour.It adds a nice texture. An equalamount of flour was used.
• I prefer mini chocolate chips.1)They’re cute, and2)they distribute evenly throughout the muffin so there are nochocolate clumps, giving a bit of chocolate in every bite.
• The recipe cook time and temperature below were for using in an aluminum, uncoated muffin pan. We split a batch to test two different kinds of muffins pansjust to see what would happen. The photo below shows the ones cooked in the aluminum, uncoated muffin pan, and the darker taller ones on the right were baked in the dark, coated muffin pan. Same batch of muffin dough, same temperature, same oven rack position, same baking time. Crazy how different they are, isn’t it? With that said, adjust cook times accordingly.
