Chocolate muffins with chocolate chips
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Serve these delicious muffins with hot drinks: tea, coffee, cappuccino, or chilled lemonade. They are perfect both hot and cold. Chocolate chips or chunks are available in any baking supply store. The color of the baked goods will depend directly on the color of the cocoa powder. To ensure the muffins rise well and develop a fluffy top, be sure to add baking powder. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
