Ultra Chocolate Muffins

Ultra Chocolate Muffins

Time: 15 min prep, 20 min cook

Makes: 12

From: Stuver Family

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups flour

½ cup sugar

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup apple juice

¼ cup butter, melted

1 Tablespoon vinegar, any type

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup chocolate chips

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir until well mixed. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Mix well. Ass the wet ingredients to the dry, and add the chocolate chips. Mix until blended, but be careful not to over mix.

Pour into greased or paper-lined muffin tins. Bake at 375 degrees F for 16-18 minutes, or until knife inserted comes out clean.

Tips for fluffy muffins:

Do not over mix the batter- it should be lumpy. To form better peaks, heat oven to 400 degrees F, bake for 5 minutes and then reduce heat to 375 degrees F for the remainder of the baking time.
