5 Ingredient Chocolate Chip Muffins

Choc Chip Muffins

Did you all have a nice weekend?  It rained quite a bit here in Southern California and when it rains, I get into the baking mood.   I did not have a little time so I whipped up some muffins.  This is a super simple recipe for Chocolate Chip muffins with only 5 ingredients.

 

5 Ingredient Chocolate Chip Muffins

2 cups baking mix

2/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup milk

1 egg

1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Grease muffin tin.

Mix ingredients in bowl in order listed.  Pour batter in baking cups.

Top muffin with a couple of chocolate chips so that they will show through on the top of the muffin.  This really makes the muffin ingredients “pop”, both literally and figuratively.

Pour into muffin tin and bake 14 -16 minutes. Makes 10-12 muffins depending on pan size.

Enjoy! These are especially good with a cup of tea or a cold glass of milk!

Simple pumpkin muffins

I could feel the temperature dropping this weekend here in Southern California.   We were busy moving our son back to college, so when I got back home I wanted to bake something I could put together pretty quickly.   I love to bake a little something on Sunday evenings as a last little celebration before the weekend is over.   I decided on these simple pumpkin muffins.  The cinnamon topping adds a tasty crunch.
