Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe

Here is the recipe for our chocolate chip muffins that we get so many compliments on. Enjoy!

 

Muffin Recipe

2 c white flour

1 Tbs baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ tsp xantham gum (optional)

2 Tbs white sugar

1 Tbs brown sugar

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 c milk

¼ c melted butter

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, xantham gum, sugars in large bowl. Add egg, milk and butter, stirring enough to dampen flour mixture. Batter will not be smooth and do not overbeat. Spoon into muffin pans (or paper muffin cups), filing each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

For flavored muffins, add chocolate chips, fruit or nuts to mixture before placing in muffin pans.

Notes: Muffins do not hold well and are best eaten immediately after baking. The xantham gum will help them stay moist for a few hours after baking; otherwise they tend to dry out and get chewy. Xantham gum is usually available in stores that carry gluten free items. I don’t know if it comes in other forms, but we used powdered.

If not using paper muffin cups, grease muffin pan either with cooking spray or butter.
