Easy Double Chocolate Chip Muffins with cocoa, mini chocolate chips and deliciousness.
So after a very cold spring break the kids returned to school and Caleb and I had time together. The first thing he wanted to do? Bake in the kitchen with mom.
So… what would we make? Easy Double Chocolate Chip Muffins because there is chocolate. There are chocolate chips. And they are great for snacks, lunches and hungry children.
When Caleb helped me to make the muffins, he loves to help with the eggs. I have learned to duck and run because eggs have somehow hurled themselves across the room and on me. True story. :-)
As my older children point out, I never, NEVER let them sit on the counter. Times change, I suppose. ;-)
Easy Double Chocolate Chip Muffins
When choosing what muffins to make for your family, there are a lot of options. I know some families use Keto recipes or some are gluten free. Others like blueberry muffins or banana muffins and really don’t want to try any other kind.
The Strawn family loves a variety of muffins and some of our favorite include the applesauce puffs (which are a hit here, almost 100,000 shares!). The thing is, these easy double chocolate chip muffins are not vegan or dairy free. They are loaded with chocolate goodness. That makes up for it, right?
You can change the recipe around if you want and use almond milk (like I did) instead of regular milk or a different kind of sugar. The only thing would be to be sure to add the extra special ingredient. The secret, if you will, of the chocolate muffins success. Sour cream.
I am not a fan of using sour cream in my baking but I must say, it does make the muffins moist and delicious.
Baking Tip
I would recommend using mini chocolate chips in this muffin recipe because I feel mini chips works with the texture of the muffins better than regular sized muffins.
