Chocolate Chip Muffins















One of my favourite muffins so I'll share the recipe I still never found the right one yet so you'll see a different recipe for this muffin on here again.
Preheat 400F

1/2 cup margarine (melted and cooled)

1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup granulated sugar
4 tsp baking soda

In small bowl, whisk together margarine, milk, vanilla and eggs.
In large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until blended. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and add wet ingredients stirring just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Divide batter equally ( I put a little more then 1/4 cup in each muffin but you'll only get 10 make sure to put some water in the empty ones) in lined muffin pan. Bake 20 minuted until light golden or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let sit for 10 minutes before remiving muffins from pan. Cool on rack.
