Snow Day Chocolate Chip Muffins

We have had so many snow days! And when I say “snow” day I mean it snows ALL DAY LONG. Our winter has been crazy.

I’m getting in this habit of baking every time we have a storm. I have to find recipes that pertain household ingredients so I don’t have to go to the store. This recipe passed the test! Not only was it easy, but it’s yummy! …Or so my husband says!

Ingredients

1 stick of salted butter

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 cup of plain yogurt or sour cream

2 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Sugary Topping

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 teaspoons flaky sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground vanilla bean powder

 

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Add butter to a skillet and cook until it has a brown color. About 4 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and let cool for 5 minutes.

Once that cools, add maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla to the butter until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, and salt to wet mixer. Once that’s all mixed well fold in chocolate chips.

Divide the batter into a 12 muffin tin with muffin liners filling all the way to the top. In a small bowl mix the sugary topping ingredients together. Sprinkle over each muffin. Place tin into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!

I got this recipe from Half Baked Harvest!
