a great recipe for kids

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 12 muffins

Ingredients

• 1  cup milk
• 1⁄2 cup margarine or 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2  cups flour
• 2  eggs
• 12  paper baking cups
• 3⁄4 cup  packed brown sugar
• 1  teaspoon salt, divided
• 1  tablespoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray each cup in muffin pan with the cooking spray, or put a paper baking cup in each muffin cup. Save for later.
2. Put the margarine in the saucepan, heat over low heat for about 1 minute, stirring a few times with the wooden spoon, until margarine is melted. Take saucepan off hot burner. (Or put margarine in the microwavable bowl. Cover bowl with waxed paper and microwave on high for 30-45 seconds or until margarine is melted.) Cool for 5 minutes.
3. Crack the eggs on side of the small mixing bowl, letting eggs slip into bowl. Add melted margarine and milk to eggs. Beat with the fork until well mixed.
4. Put the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in the large mixing bowl. Stir with the wooden spoon until mixed. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture. Stir just until flour is wet. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon batter into the sprayed muffin cups until cups are about 2/3 full.
5. Bake 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and the toothpick poked in center of muffin comes out clean.
6. Use the pot holders to take muffin pan out of the oven. Carefully tip pan on its side to take muffins out of cups, and put muffins on the wire cooling rack. Cool muffins on cooling rack 10 minutes before serving.
