NO SINK Chocolate Chip Muffins

Cook

My kids LOVE chocolate chip muffins. If you read my blog, you already know that we have muffins every Sunday morning. It’s our tradition. I usually make somewhat healthy muffins with applesauce, oatmeal, fresh fruit, etc but every once in a while, I make up a batch of their favorites. The only problem was that the chocolate chips always ended up on the bottom of the muffin, leaving the top of the muffin bare. I tried several things including thickening the batter to fix the problem with no luck until I discovered this little trick.

chocolate chip muffin recipe

Ingredients:

1 c. sugar (raw sugar is best)

1 c. milk

2 eggs

2/3 c. EVOO

1 tsp vanilla

1 c. quick cook oatmeal (UNCOOKED)

2 c. self-rising flour

1 bag of chocolate chips

shhh…here’s the secret:
Mix up the muffin batter but don’t add the chocolate chips yet!
Pour batter into greased muffin cups and then add 5 chocolate chips to the top of each muffin.
*I left one muffin plain (for my weenie dog – see photo)

She gets a muffin on Sundays too!

That’s her only table food – don’t judge!

Anyway, back to the trick – stick the muffins in preheated 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. Set your timer and then remove them after 5 minutes.
