Good morning everyone!!! Sorry I left chat abruptly last night - got kicked out, couldn't get back in, and eventually got tired and went to bed.
But I did remember that somebody (Tudu or KB?) asked me for my chocolate blueberry muffins recipe, so here it is:
Makes 12 large muffins.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
3 oz. semisweet chocolate chips (sometimes I use milk choc.)
Generous 1 cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Generous 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease 12 deep muffin pans - or use paper liners.
(These come out really big, so if you want them smaller, make 15-16 instead of 12)

In a medium saucepan over a medium heat, melt the butter and chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Stir in the sugar, egg, buttermilk and vanilla. Gently fold in the flour and baking soda just until blended. (do NOT overblend, although the mixture may be lumpy with some unblended flour). Gently fold in the berries.
Spoon the batter into the prepapred pans, filling to the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a skewer or toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
Remove the muffins in their paper liners to a wire rack immediately - if they are left in the pan, they will get soggy.

You may decorate these with an additional 1 oz. semisweet chocolate, melted, and drizzled across the tops.

Serve muffins warm or cool (but warm is the best!!!)


Enjoy, girls and boys.................they are SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!

And with chocolate!!!!!!! Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
