Chocolate Muffins

* 2 eggs, beaten
* 1 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup butter, melted
* 1/4 tsp vanilla
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 1/4 cup flour
* 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips (optional)



HOW TO MAKE: 


Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup milk in small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Pour into medium mixing bowl. Add beaten eggs to chocolate mixture. Pour in sugar, vanilla and butter and stir til smooth. In a small saucepan, heat the rest of milk until warm. Add baking soda to milk and stir til dissolved. Pour baking soda mixture into chocolate mixture, alternating with flour. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips (if desired) and pour into greased muffin pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. 




This recipe was a little different from the other muffins I've made. The batter is a lot thinner but it still cooks really well. You may want to add a little more pam to the muffin pans since the muffins stuck to the pan more than the other muffin recipes did. The chocolate chips were not part of the recipe but I thought it would be a nice touch since the muffins aren't very sweet. The flour didn't mix all the way through so I ended up with little chunks of flour (as seen in the photo) but it still tasted really good. You may just want to sift the flour into the chocolate mixture so you won't get any clumps. Still, it's a very good and simple recipe. Enjoy!
