Chocolate Chip Muffins

The boys were home today from school with tummy aches. At about 3 in the afternoon they became ravenously hungry(I am thinking it was a " let's have a Phineas and Ferb marathon" flu). I made them chocolate chip muffins which have been their favorite for as long as they have been eating solid foods. It's comfort food, for sure, and pantry staples to boot, my favorite combination.

Chocolate Chip Muffins 

Makes 12

2 cups AP flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1TB baking powder
pinch salt
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup chocolate chips
 some extra sugar for sprinkling on top if desired.


Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line muffin cups with paper liners. I use a muffin top pan I got last year these days. If you don't use liners make sure you grease your pan appropriately.

In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, oil, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just moistened(still lumpy is ok). Gently stir in chocolate chips.

Fill muffin tins 2/3 full. Sprinkle tops with sugar if desired. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned.

Hide a couple if you want one after the kids get ahold of them.

Enjoy!
