Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semisweet miniature chocolate chips, or 3/4 cup regular size semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten

Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease bottoms only of 12 muffin cups or line with paper baking cups.

2. In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir in chocolate chips, mix well.

2. In small bowl, combine milk, oil and egg; beat well. Add to flour mixture all at once; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Batter will be lumpy.) Divide batter evenly into greased muffin cups.

3. Bake in preheated 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 minute; remove from pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Stir 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw) and 1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange peel into dry ingredients.

CHOCOLATE CHIP AND BROWN SUGAR MUFFINS
Before baking, sprinkle batter in cups with a combination of 3 tablespoons sugar and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.

JAM MUFFINS
Place 1/2 teaspoon any flavor jam on each muffin before baking; press into batter. If desired, sprinkle with finely chopped nuts.

LEMON MUFFINS
Add 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel with flour.

ORANGE MUFFINS
Add 1 tablespoon grated orange peel with flour; substitute orange juice for milk.

STREUSEL-TOPPED MUFFINS

WAY TOO much baking powder. It should be 2 tsp. at most.

I really wish I had read the reviews of this recipe before I set out to bake these muffins. This is simply a poorly executed recipe. Far too much baking soda and flour, ingredients which make up the majority of the flavor and leave the muffin extremely dry. You would be far better off with a bagged mix.

The muffins were great. I found that I needed to add a tablespoon more milk as the batter was too stiff. But that's all it needed.
