A couple days ago you made your first batch of really delicious muffins. Perfect little pop-out-of-the-pan, pillow-top puffs of palpable pleasure. Okay, you may be flattering yourself a little bit, but in case you ever forget your recipe (all 10 ingredients of it), here it is.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chips
You know what to do. Preheat the oven to 425*F. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; whisk the egg in a separate small bowl and then add milk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Make a well in the dry mix and pour the wet mix in all at once. Stir lightly and quickly until batter is moistened, but leave lumpy. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Generously grease a muffin pan or line one with muffin cups. Fill cups 3/4 of the way full with the batter. As soon as you place them in the oven, lower the temperature to 400* (the higher initial temperature allows them to dome). Set the timer for 20 minutes and then check on them (or really, check on them constantly); if the tops are not yet golden, leave for another 3-5 minutes. If they're golden? Take em out, let em rest a few minutes, and bring them as a gift to someone you love, because or else you'll eat them all yourself within the hour.
Remember, you have to find a healthier alternative to this recipe. Next time try substituting:
Half a banana for the egg
7/4 cup whole wheat flour for 2 cups white flour
Less sugar all around, and maybe honey instead
Applesauce for vegetable oil (but still add 2 tsp of the latter for texture)
Blueberries for chocolate chips
Get on it girl! And go for a run! And yes, you did steal that picture from Google, because you forgot to take a picture of your own muffins. Be a more diligent documenter, please.
