late night baking

I found a muffin recipe that looked good and I thought, hmm, I'd like to make that!

But the recipe was in Spanish.

But I took two semesters of Spanish!

But that was like five years ago.

But they're chocolate muffins.

So I went for it! They're in the oven now. Cross your fingers.

You must post the results... and the translated recipe. :) *uses her jedi mind tricks to make it so

They turned out pretty good! Kind of chewy/dense but moist, and kind of tangy because they have yogurt. Okay so here's the recipe: http://ellabellavita.blogspot.it/2013/04/muffins-de-chocolate-tipo-starbucks.html Mine looked nothing like the pictures on the blog so idk if it's because I didn't make them right or just that I didn't fill the cups as full as she did

It sounds delicious!!!!!!!! I think you did a good job translating and I'll have to try these sometimes.

Yours may have turned out dense just because of the yogurt and whole wheat pastry flour. I have a recipe for low-fat chocolate chip muffins that uses both of those ingredients and they are always very dense. I cut back on the flour a little bit (saves calories anyway) and that helped. I did the same thing with my gluten-free banana bread that I LOVE. Adding the correct amount of flour made it like a brick, so I used a "scant" 3/4c instead of a full 3/4 cup and now it works out perfect. OM NOM NOM.

I think that's what I'm having for breakfast. Thanks for the idea. LOL.
