Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 12 mins Cook Time: 18 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2-1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 -2 cup fruit, chopped or mashed

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 375°f.
• 2 put little paper muffin cuppy things into 12 regular sized muffin cups (or, if you are really unfortunate, grease the pan).
• 3 if you are using bananas in the muffins, use metal foil muffin cups so that the muffins won't stick.
• 4 in a large bowl, stir together the milk, butter, vanilla (if applicable) and egg.
• 5 add salt, sugar, and baking powder; mix.
• 6 add flour, mixing only enough to combine.
• 7 add chocolate chips and fruit.
• 8 spoon batter into prepared cups until each one is about 4/5 full.
• 9 there will be 12 muffins worth.
• 10 bake for 16-18 minutes.
• 11 sometimes these muffins don't brown on top, but they are still done.
• 12 stick one with a fork; if it comes out with only crumbs (and no batter) on it, you're all good.
• 13 remove muffins from pan and let cool.
• 14 they are delicious hot, but they will stick to the wrappers.
• 15 the choice is yours.
