Strawberry chocolate chip muffins
Tonight I had a late night craving for strawberry chocolate chip muffins. (Also tacos, though alas, I don't know of any take-out taco places that are open at 10:30 pm. Such is life in rural South Carolina). Anyway, here's the recipe for the strawberry chocolate chip muffins currently baking right now in the kitchen, modified for my tastes and ingredients on hand from a recipe I found online.
Preheat to 375 F.
Mix together:
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup cornmeal. The original recipe was for 1 3/4 cup white flour, I prefer the texture of cornmeal and the flavor of whole wheat.
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
In a seperate bowl, mix together:
1/2 cup oil. I was all out of regular canola oil, so I winced and used my far more expensive olive oil.
1 egg
3/4 cup milk, I used soymilk because I was out of regular milk. I would also consider adding plain yogurt here if I had any on hand.
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice, original recipe called for 2 tablespoons pure orange extract.
Stir together wet and dry ingredients but don't overmix. Fold in:
1 1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 semisweet chocolate chips, though I bet dark chocolate would be even better.
Fill muffin cups and bake for 25 minutes or until done.
