Chocolate Chip Muffins
Chocolate Chip Muffins
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'the chocolate cookbook' and that is where this recipe comes from.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 C (400 F), spray a 12 cell standard muffin pan with non stick spray or line cups with foil or paper baking cups. Measure out the mini chocolate chips and set them aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to mix together.
- In another bowl, add the milk, applesauce, egg, butter, and vanilla, whisk together.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stir until just combined, a few dry spots is ok as you will stir one more time.
- Add the mini chocolate chips and stir them in until just mixed through.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. (I checked at 14 minutes and they were perfect.)
- After 5 minutes, remove from the pan and allow to completely cool on a wire rack.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
Variant: 1. Use mini MMs candies in place of the chips, it will discolor the muffins slightly.
