1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot (use the small side of your grater)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips + 3 tablespoons for topping

  • Sprinkle the tops with additional mini chocolate chips.
  • Bake for about 8-9 minutes, until muffins are no longer jiggly and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.

CHOCOLATY CHOCOLATE CHIP WHOLE WHEAT MUFFINS



Chocolaty Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Muffins image

I was originally interested in making a chocolate nut bread from Very Best Baking but decided I needed something more chocolaty and with more spices. So I decided to merge that recipe with another muffin recipe I use that calls for cinnamon and nutmeg. I wanted it to look chocolaty too though so I also added cocoa powder. I do want to add that this recipe is not very sweet. It is just right. You can use just all purpose flour if desired. This recipe will make 48 regular sized muffins or 24 Texas sized muffins. You can also freeze some for later.

Time 35m

Yield 12 24, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups all-purpose flour
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
8 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 large eggs
3 1/2 cups milk
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
3 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Directions:.
  • Turn the oven on to 350°F.
  • Spray cooking spray on four 12 cup muffin pans, or four 6 cup Texas size muffin pans.
  • Combine both flours, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine the milk, eggs and vegetable oil in a medium mixing bowl, add this to the flour mixture; mix it until it is moist.
  • Stir in 3 cups chocolate morsels and any nuts if desired. Pour into waiting cupcake pans.
  • Bake these at 350° F for 18-20 minutes if you are using the 12 cup pans. Bake for 22-25 minutes if using the 6 cup pans. Let cool, remove. Let cool on wire racks if desired.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that your muffins are smooth and lump-free.
  • Use whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour is a good source of fiber and nutrients, and it will give your muffins a hearty texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

These chocolate chip whole wheat muffins are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their combination of whole wheat flour, ripe bananas, and chocolate chips, these muffins are sure to be a hit.
