Does anyone not like chocolate chip muffins? Those are the people that are not to be trusted. Here's a basic recipe that you really can't screw up. This is good, because I've been experienciing a number of baking fails since arriving in Philly. It is always so sad to have to throw stuff away as inedible.

Ingredients

2 cups AP Flour

1/2 cup of sugar

1 tablespoon of baking powder

a little salf

1 egg

3/4 cup of milk (or almond milk if that's your thing)

1/3 cup vegetable oil (or applesauce, but they only keep a few days if you use applesauce, so you end up eating them twice as fast, so it really doesn't seem any healthier to me)

3/4 cup of choco chips (or some combination of chips and nuts or dried fruit)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease a muffin pan up. In a large bowl, mix the first four dry ingredients.

In a smaller bowl, beat the egg up and mix in the milk and oil. Once mixed, dump the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until there's no clumps of flour, but just until that point, Never beat muffin mix like it owes you money. Fold in the chips, then scoop out the mixture into the muffin tin. This mixture makes 12 reasonably sized muffins. 

In the picture above, I added quite a bit of cinnamon in the batter and used half choco chips and half white choco chips. I did this because I ran out of choco chips and it was raining outside. If you experiment like this, think about balancing the flavour. As white choco chips are so sweet, I wanted to give the batter a little more depth with cinnamon. I think it worked.
