Chocolate Chip Muffins

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
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)

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

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

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.

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!
