Week 2 in my baking experiment is here, and we’ve got chocolate chip muffins on deck. I got a good pro tip from my aunt to avoid getting clumps of baking soda, use a whisk to stir your dry mix really well before you add the wet mix to it. I added a few to many chocolate chips, but seriously can you have to many chocolate chips, I stand before you saying no, no you cant. The muffins turned out really well, crispy tops, tons of chocolate, and most importantly they taste like muffins. The ingredients and directions are included below. I think for next week Im gonna really expand my mind and battle it out with brownies, Im not sure what kind yet, Ill post it on my twitter when I settled on something. Also Im thinking about turning my baking experiment into web 2.0 territory and live stream my baking train-wrecks in action. Theirs alot of hurdles to that, the main one being waiting for something to cook, but Im gonna work on it.

Ingredients

1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 1/3 cup light-brown sugar
3. 1/3 cup sugar
4. 2 teaspoon baking powder
5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
6. 2/3 cup milk
7. 1/2 cup butter — melted and cooled
8. 2 eggs – beaten
9. 1 teaspoon vanilla
10. 1 package (12 oz) chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. and grease up twelve muffin cups.
2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, stir together milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla until blended. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; add milk mixture and stir just to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Spoon batter into muffin cups; bake 15-20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center of one muffin comes out clean. Remove muffin tin to wire rack; cool 5 minutes and remove from tins to finish cooling.

So my muffins turned out to be more stumps then muffins, the big take away from this for me is put more batter in the tins so I can get me some muffin tops.
