ChocoMuffins
- 2 c. flour
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 3 T. cocoa powder
- 2 T. sugar
- 1 c. chocolate chips
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 c. nonfat sour cream
- 3/4 c. skim milk
- 1/3 c. margarine, melted
Heat oven to 415 degrees. Place muffin cups into a 12-hole muffin tin. Lightly spray each cup with cooking spray.
Mix the flour baking powder and cocoa powder in a bowl. Add the sugar and chocolate chips; stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, sour cream, milk and margarine and pour into the dry ingredients bowl all at once. Stir until just mixed -- the batter should be lumpy.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the muffins are firm. Remove the muffins from the tin and cool completely on a wire rack.
