Finally a baking post after a really long time. I got the recipe from my neighbor Rachael because my son loved it when he had it at their house. I think a lot before baking anything sweet because the kids like savory stuff, but this muffin seemed to be an exception and the kids loved it. The recipe calls for mini chocolate chips that are really tiny chips and this was the first time I was even hearing about them. I just used the regular chocolate chips. I followed the recipe except for adding a tsp of flax meal. I did another batch where I replaced one egg with 1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water and nobody knew the difference. These muffins freeze well and I have some lying in my freezer right now. Recipe by Alison Needham. Off to the recipe.
