Good. I used only 2 eggs and added a scoop of sour cream. I also used part whole wheat flour, and subbed sugar for the honey. Next time I would add more than 2 tsp cinnamon.

Chocolate chips and cinnamon.....what a GREAT combination!!!!! Who would have thought?!?? I took them to our church meeting and everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. This is a "must try" for everyone....you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much for sharing it, HokiesLady. It's a keepter!!!

Tasty combination, not too sweet, this made 22 petite muffins. They were a bit burnt on the bottom, which I attributed to the first toothpick coming out with melted chocolate, so the extra 5 minutes may have been too much; I recommend pressing down with a finger to see if the muffin's surface bounces back. I tried chopping regular semi-sweet chips in my food processor with mixed success, and the larger chips did not suspend well in the muffin batter. I really like this taste combination, so I plan to remake with mini chips and with the finger-bounce-back test. Thanks for posting, HokiesLady! Made for 1-2-3-4 Hit Wonders tag.

The only change I made was to use sugar instead of honey. These muffins have a great taste with chocolate but they were a little bit too dense. Thanks Meli. Made for Alphabet chef game
