Muffin with Chocolate Chips
These chocolate chip muffins are probably the most famous muffins. I once made a version using yogurt instead of milk and Kinder chocolate instead of chips, but this recipe provides an excellent base for any other version, even classic American chocolate chip muffins. The last two photos were taken by my husband; I want to clarify this to avoid him claiming credit for my "masterpieces"! Enjoy this easy and delicious recipe. If you're not alone, double the recipe; they disappear quickly!
