Chocolate Chip Muffins

Muffins have never been my choice as far as baked goods go. I usually prefer a donut or a brownie or anything extremely chocolatey.  But strangely muffins were one of my major pregnancy cravings. One cold, snowy morning I was woken out of my sleep with an enormously overpowering desire for chocolate chip muffins. I could not shake it and I felt like some sort of addict. Normally in this situation I would just run out and buy a muffin somewhere but as I looked out my window snow was everywhere.  Not in a pretty, wintertime scene sort of way but  in a raging blizzardy one.

That’s when I knew I would have to make them myself. I quietly took out my phone, searched and found this recipe from Sally’ s Baking Addiction.  I was exhausted, cranky, cold, hungry, huge and muffin-starved but I trudged through the recipe with Jake barking at my feet the entire time. I was hugely rewarded in the end because this recipe made the most magical, satisfying muffins I have ever tasted.  I spent most of that morning eating most of the muffins in bed and I spent most of that night listening to my husband complain about muffin crumbs in the sheets.

This recipe produces fluffy muffins with a beautifully crisp top outer layer. Be sure to fill your muffin cups all the way so you get the really big tops perfect for breaking off. 

I have to limit myself as to how often I bake these because I absolutely cannot control myself with these in the house. You can really justify eating a muffin at any point in the day so that doesn’t help.  Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack? Just hand me a muffin.

Here is my set up from that first snowy morning I baked these. No, there is no parsley in the muffins. I’m not really sure why it’s in the middle of my muffin ingredients.

I didn’t change a thing in this recipe except I didn’t have the sugar to sprinkle on the top and I’m not a huge fan of cinnamon so I left that out.

I have to admit I never thought I would eat through 6 jumbo muffins so quickly. How quickly? At the rate of a starving pregnant woman with a craving trapped in her house during a blizzard.
