Chocolate Chip Muffins

(from the Inn at the Park Bed and Breakfast in Louisville, KY)

2 c. all purpose flour

1/3 c. packed brown sugar

1/3 c. granulated sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2/3 c. milk

1/2 c. melted butter

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tsp. vanilla

1 pkg. chocolate chips (about 11.5 ounces)

1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and grease muffin cups or line with cupcake liners. In large bowl, stir together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix together milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla until blended. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and add milk mixture, stirring until just combined. Add chocolate chips and nuts.

Spoon batter into muffin pan and bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan. Dust with powdered sugar.

I bake these at 375 degrees, and we top ours with butter and haven't tried the powdered sugar, yet. I also don't use as many chocolate chips as suggested, but, as witnessed to by Little Bit, there are still plenty of chocolate chips to be found in those muffins!
