Chocolate Chip Muffins

I had a hankering for something sweet last night (shocker, right?) but knew I needed to make something I could share with others. I had to make something that I could enjoy for one night, then get out of the house! What could be more perfect than muffins?! I could make them, enjoy one, then take them to share at church the next day. Perfect. Here is a recipe for that little something sweet without going overboard.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

3/4 cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used the minis)

Directions

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 

In a small bowl beat the egg, milk and oil. 

Pour into the dry ingredients and stir.

Add chocolate chips.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full and bake at 400 for 18-20 minutes. 

This makes one dozen muffins. You can also adapt this for a quick bread. Pour all the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 400 for 45-50 minutes.

Enjoy!
