Double Chocolate Chip Muffins

It's a blah day again-rainy, humid, and super gross. Blahh. So I asked myself, what makes blah days better?? Answer-CHOCOLATE!!! Now I know muffins aren't the greatest summer treat or anything special, but just have a really special place in my heart, because who can't love a warm, chocolatey muffin straight out of the oven. 

These muffins are great. Super easy to make, and no weird ingredients, just the normal stuff you have in your pantry. These are also a great gift, not to mention a easy breakfast or anytime snack. They are so perfectly chocolatey, it's addictive! 

I found this cute and super easy recipe in one of my trusty cookbooks. Funny enough, the cookbook is mostly cookies. This is my twist on the regular chocolate chip muffin recipe. So go ahead all you chocolaholics, and sweet freaks, this is the muffin recipe for you! Enjoy!

Double Chocolate Chip Muffins:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, slightly melted

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tbsp dark brown sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

1 3/4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa

2/3 cup milk

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 24-muffin tin with paper liners, or grease each cup. 

Cream butter and sugars. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. 

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa until well combined. Beat into the dry mixture, alternating with the milk, until well mixed. 

Divide the batter in half. Divy out one half into the prepared muffin tins. Then sprinkle half the chocolate chips over. Spoon the rest of the batter to cover the chocolate chips, and then sprinkle more chocolate chips on top. 

Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched lightly. Make sure a toothpick or cake tester comes out with only a few crumbs left on it. Let cool slightly, then enjoy!

(I highly recommend a glass of milk to go with these, because what's better?)
