I’m behind in my blogging and that is due to the fact that I have been working on a tv show for ABC called “Blood and Oil”.  I’ve been doing some baking and cooking on the weekends but haven’t had a chance to post until now.  It’ll take me a little while to catch up.  I was wanting chocolate chip muffins for breakfast so made these guys on Saturday and they are delicious!  The recipe comes from “Something Swanky”.

1 cup milk

1/4 cup vinegar

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

2 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Turbinado sugar for sprinkling (I get mine from Trader Joes)

1  Preheat oven to 425 or 400 for darker colored pans.  Line 24 muffin cup with paper liners.

2  Stir together milk and vinegar in small bowl and let sit while preparing remaining ingredients.

3  Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large bowl.  Add butter, eggs, vanilla and milk/vinegar and stir just until batter with lumps forms.

4  Fold in chocolate chips.

5  Fill each muffin cup with about 1/4 cup of batter and sprinkle generously with sugar if desired.

6  Bake for 5 minutes at 425/400 then decrease heat to 375/350 and bake for another 15 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes in pan before removing.
