Mmm…MUFFINS!
Oh do you know the muffin man, Sometimes I think the muffin man is living in my house! My 5-year-old son, Jonathan, is always asking me to make muffins. Jon likes to help make them, too. And when the muffins are ready to eat, he just can't get enough. He stuffs a mini muffin in each cheek and looks like a chipmunk. Here are some of his favorite muffin recipes that I'm sure other kids will also enjoy making and eating. Fudge Muffins
5 oz semisweet chocolate Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously grease muffin pans or line with baking cups. Melt the semisweet and unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Whisk the butter, sour cream, sugar, corn syrup, egg and vanilla into the chocolate mixture. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour the chocolate mixture into the well. Mix until moistened. The batter will be lumpy. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, filling each ¾ cup full. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes.
