Chocolate Chip Muffins

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Just like the bakery.  Loaded with chocolate chips!

I felt chocolate chip muffins today so went looking for something that was more like cake than a muffin so it’d last longer.

Didn’t have to look far.  Found a great recipe over on King Arthur’s site.  Only thing I changed was to reduce the chocolate and didn’t add additional flavoring, as was suggested.  Oh, and I used regular flour instead of the fancy one in the original.  You can check out the original recipe HERE.

What is important with this recipe is how you measure your flour.  DO NOT  “dip and sweep” otherwise they will be too dry.  Lightly spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level off.

These are terrific but I think next time I use mini morsels or cut the chocolate down even more.  Made like my version, it’s loaded with chocolate, and I know that’s not a problem to some LOL!!!  But I’d like a higher percentage of the cake part personally. I’d also reduce the sugar a bit too as they are pretty sweet (made like this) but not overpoweringly so.
