Super Moist Chocolate Muffins

It's Friday so I have another muffin recipe and these are one word: scrumptious! Very moist, tasty and full of chocolate goodness! Even better the next day.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 applesauce 

3/4 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1 cup plain yogurt

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

2. Combine flour, sugar, 3/4 cup chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk egg,  applesauce, yogurt, milk, and vegetable oil in another bowl until smooth; pour into chocolate mixture and stir until batter is just blended. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

3. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Raspberry Muffins

T

I love muffins on the weekend, because they're yummy, easy to make and all you have to do is grab them and go.  When you can use fresh fruit in them they're even better.

It's important to not use a mixer after adding the raspberries, I use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter.

This recipe makes 12 muffins.

Ingredients

⅓ cup butter melted

1 cup sugar 

2 eggs

½ cup of milk (any kind of milk would work)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1¾ cup flour 

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 to 2 cups fresh raspberries

Directions

1.  Melt the butter then stir in the sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla.

2.  Measure in the flour and baking powder - mix well

3.  Gently fold in the raspberries.

4.  Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full.

5.  Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
