Jerry's Chocolate Chip Muffins


What a wonderful Saturday, the day most college students look forward to all week. Saturday means we get to sleep in, eat breakfast at noon in our pajamas and go out and party until the bouncers kick us to the curb at 3:00 AM. (and people wonder why house parties are so popular) 

Today I am going to post my first recipe which I am calling Jerry's Chocolate Chip Muffins

My close friend Jerry graduated this spring and we are hanging out tomorrow. As requested, I am bringing along chocolate chip muffins for him. While doing some research I found a pretty generic chocolate chip recipe and a chocolate chip surprise recipe. I personally want to try the surprise muffins however, boys sometimes aren't up for surprises so I figured I should make both and let him decided which one he likes better. Either way they will get eaten if not by him by my wonderful food critics, the Howard Boys Swim Team. 

Jerry's Chocolate Chip Muffins 
Chocolate Chip Muffins

(12 servings but I never really go by servings because if there is batter left over, use it up. Its worse to try and fit all the batter in 12 tins because it will overflow and mess up your muffins)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup light-brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter -- melted and cooled
  • 2 eggs - beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 package (12 oz) chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla pudding powder
Preheat oven to 400 F. and prepare muffin tins (I use silicone but if using a pan, line with paper liners and spry with cooking spray)

In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugars, baking powder, pudding powder, and salt. In another bowl, stir together milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla until blended. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add milk mixture and stir just to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into muffin cups; bake 15-20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center of one muffin comes out clean. Remove muffin tin to wire rack; cool 5 minutes and remove from tins to finish cooling.

Heat oven to 400°F. Prepare muffin tins. In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients until smooth; set aside.

In large bowl, beat milk, oil and egg with fork or wire whisk. Stir in remaining muffin ingredients just until flour is moistened. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.

Place about 1 rounded teaspoon filling on batter in each muffin cup. Top with remaining batter.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from pan to cooling rack (may need to run knife around side of muffins to loosen). Cool 5 minutes. Serve warm or cool.


So thats it for now. Tomorrow I will post what the thoughts were on these two recipes. Stay tuned!
