Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe Challenge - Part 2

 

This is it - the second Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe in 2 days. Are you excited? It's so much fun to make a recipe challenge for myself. (If I compete against myself - I always win!)

So without further ado - here is Chocolate Chip muffin recipe number 2 courtesy of Twopeasandtheirpod.com.  

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yield: 12 muffins
Cook Time: 17-20 minutes



2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips ( I used semi-sweet)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Set pan aside.










2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt.











 
3.  In medium bowl stir together melted butter,  eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well blended.

 






Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the liquid mixture into the well and gently stir until combined.





 
Stir in chocolate chips.
 

4.  Spoon batter into muffins cups.

 
Bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Remove muffins from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

So here it is - moment of truth.  Which chocolate chip muffin recipe was the clear winner?  Was it recipe #1 from bakerella?


Or did I like recipe #2 from Two peas and their pod better?


The answer ... Recipe number 2 was the clear winner of the first ever Amy Davis chocolate chip muffin recipe contest.  Yea!



I thought these muffins were outstanding but I didn't want to be the only one to judge their extraordinary taste.  Who better to help me taste test a new muffin recipe than a group of hungry, teenage cross country runners?  I didn't even need to ask their opinion, the look on their faces told me everything that I needed to know.  They whole heartily agreed that these muffins were fantastic. 

Ciao!
