Chips in Muffins

Ingredients
1 stick of margarine of butter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

I have to do this recipe for my challenge class for 4-H. So I wanted to do it first for this.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease the bottoms of muffin cups in a 12-cup pan.
2. In a small bowl, cover butter or margarine with waxed paper and microwave on high for 30-45 seconds( or until melted ). Let the margarine cool 5 minutes.
3. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, and then add the butter and milk. Beat mixture with a fork until mixed well.
4. In a seperate, medium bowl, mix together all the '' dry'' ingredients: the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until mixed
5. Add the '' wet'' ingredients to the '' dry'' ingredients. Stir just until the flour is wet. The batter will be lumpy.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
7. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup until it is about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove muffins from the pan as soon as you take them out of the oven, so they won't get soggy. Cool muffins on a wire rack.

Tuesday I was bored since I am out of school now. So I asked my mom what I could make. She said she had some bananas that I could use to make some Peanut Butter Banana Muffins. Here is how you make them.

Heat your oven to 375 degrees f. You can either grease12 medium muffin cups or line them with paper baking cups. I put paper baking cups in and then greased the cups. Then you combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking powder. Then whisk together milk, peanut butter, banana, egg, oil, and vanilla. You then add that mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing just until moistioned. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake 16-18 minutes. combine the remaining ingredients which are 1/4 c. of all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp. butter[ melted] and 2tbsp. of brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
