These chocolate chip chocolate muffins quickly became popular and often requested. The twelve muffins don’t last long with teenagers.
Who says chocolate isn’t for breakfast? No one in my house, for sure! Looking back at my recipes I have a few of them that are for breakfast and include chocolate.
Chocolate chip muffins are one of the most popular recipes on my blog. Chocolate coffee pecan swirl coffee cake and strawberry chocolate French toast are two family favorites.
So, you might find an unusual ingredient in this recipe – red wine vinegar. Don’t worry, you can’t taste it, my kids will attest to that fact.
It’s used in this recipe to react with the baking soda to create the chemical reaction needed to produce carbon dioxide to get the rise in the batter. There’s your science lesson for the day. Again, I promise you can’t taste it so don’t let one ingredient turn you off to a great recipe.
These muffins are a great grab and go breakfast, lunch box treat, or even dessert. That’s happened before too. While there is a lot of chocolate these chocolate chip chocolate muffins are not overly sweet.
