Chocolate Chip Muffins

This is one of the first recipes I remember making when I was a teenager. My mother had a big binder-like cookbook called Great American Home Baking and what teenager wouldn’t like chocolate chip muffins? I’ve changed up the recipe just a bit, but the muffins are just as good as I remember.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup canola oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 oz. (1/2 bag) Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate baking chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease cupcake pan. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a smaller bowl, mix together the milk, oil, egg and vanilla. Add the liquid mixture into the larger bowl and use a fork to make sure all the dry ingredients are mixed well with the liquid.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Bake muffins for about 18 minutes, until the tops begin to become golden. Enjoy!
