Whole Wheat Double Chocolate Muffins

This is my 2nd post for the Grain Mill Wagon Challenge! I think I have a sweet tooth, because my last recipe involved chocolate 🙂 – or maybe pregnancy is just making me crave chocolate? especially since prior to pregnancies, I wasn’t a huge fan of a lot of chocolate.

Everyone however, loves a good double chocolate chip muffin! I do at least 🙂

It can make a perfect dessert to any meal. Especially if you team it with some vanilla bean ice cream. YUM!

Here’s what you need….

IMG_9146Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sucanat (or white sugar)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon real salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sour cream (not non-fat) or yogurt
2 cups freshly ground white hard wheat
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl mix together butter, cocoa powder, sucanat, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Then beat in eggs, with the milk and sour cream. Once well mixed, you then mix in flour. Add in chocolate chips and mix that in by hand.

3. Fill a greased 12 inch muffin pan. You can fill them up pretty high, as they do not rise to much. Be sure to GREASE the tin well… if not, use liners. You could also do smaller sized muffins (as pictured) if you’d like.

4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out without crumbs. Remove from oven, let cool for 10 minutes, then remove muffins and place onto cooling rack.

These like I said above go great with vanilla ice cream 🙂 – but eating them plain is great too.

All 3 of our boys love them.

Enjoy!

Grain Mill Wagon Experience: My adventure with milling my own wheat began almost a year ago today. I was introduced to it through a sweet friend and mother of 8... who not only introduced me to the Wonder Mill but also Bread Beckers and all the amazing benefits of freshly ground wheat. I was immediately hooked... and although it has taken me some time to learn the ropes, it has been worth the effort. The Wonder Mill has changed our families way of eating :) - for the better. The Grain Mill Challenge only helped in that journey, with the great variety of recipes shared for us all to try, love and make our own. So glad I joined in!
