Double Chocolate Muffins

For Emergency Use

• 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour 
• 2 tsp. baking powder 
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda 
• 1/2 tsp. salt 
• 2 tbsp. cocoa powder 
• 3/4 cup sugar 
• 1 egg 
• 1 cup skim milk 
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract 
• 1/3 cup olive oil 
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (dust with flour to help prevent sinking to the bottom)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 500F. Mix all ingredients and beat for 2-5 minutes with electric mixer. Stir in chocolate chips last with a spoon. Pour batter in pre-greased muffin pans. Be sure to only fill cups ¾ of the way full. The muffins will rise! (My first batch rose way too high and looked like hippos with giant noses emerging from a lake). Use muffin cup liners for easy removal because the chocolate chips will stick. Bake for 20 min at 425F. That is, after the first 1 or 2 minutes turn the oven down from 500F to 425F. The added heat at the beginning seems to help the muffins to rise.
