Devil's Food Chocolate Chip Muffins

Recipe #60399

YIELDS: 10 domed muffins (3 unlined)

COMMENT: Domed better w/o liners especially if filled the batter upto the rim. But also domed even with liners. Nice crack top. Texture's dry (maybe because i over mixed the batter or bake too long). Chips adds to the moistness and sweetness of not-so-sweet muffins

CHANGES:

use 3/4 c sugar = 1/2 - 3/4 c sugar

1 dbl yolk & 1 white only ( with dbl yolk)

1/2 c chips = 1 c

1/3 c white chips, abt 1 t oil = not included in recipe

EQUIPMENT: Black nonstick muffin tin
Lowest rack, insulated = 14min
Mid rack, insulated = 6min .... TOTAL: 20min
for only 350º. Next time, check before 20min, coz they were a bit dry

PROCEDURE:
1. Combine dry, except sugar
2. Mix milk, sgar til dissolve. Add the rest of wet.
3. Pour wet to dry, i may have overstirrd til there's no dry stuffs visible; add chips
4. pour in tin. Better domed if ulined ( and fill till top). But also domed when lined and much better since crumbs sticks to tins and a bit hard to remove
5. Garnish with melted choclate (microwaved) then added around 1 t oil to smoothen the consistency (drizzable)
6. Drizzle using paper piping bag
