- Yields:
-
12 muffins
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 1⁄2 cup cocoa
- 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄4 cup white sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder (this is optional, but i love coffee so 2 tablespoons is the right amount for me)
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole wheat pastry flour (i've only done this with regular wheat flour and it was delicious too)
- 1 cup mint chocolate chips
directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Melt the butter.
- Mix the dry ingredients with a fork or whisk.
- Once the melted butter has cooled down to room temperature, mix in the egg and milk.
- Add the wet to the dry mixing just until everything is damp. Muffins are meant to be lumpy! That is the muffin method.
- Spray the muffin pan with Pam, or grease with Crisco.
- Bake for around 20 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick comes out clean. (For my oven, 18 minutes is the perfect time).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a peruvian 23-year-old architect, but i've always liked cooking and entertaining. Well, not really cooking cooking, like a stuffed turkey for christmas but more like appetizers that are simple and really quick but you can pull it of as gourmet at the same time :) I also love sweets so i like baking cookies and muffins too.
Although, lately i've been a little more aware of my weight and the stuff i put in my body - since i stopped doing as much exercise as i used to do when i was in high school and my metabolism changed and screw me over lol - so i'm also looking for delicious food that doesn't seem to be that healthy but it actually is.
But i'm still looking for that not at all healthy but super duper delicious food... now i just don't eat it and make everyone else try it lol
Well i hope you enjoy all the tried and true recipes i post here at RecipeZaar.
