Ingredients for 12 servings:
1. 1/2 cup butter
2. 1 cup granulated sugar
3. 2 teaspoons baking powder
4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
5. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6. 2 large eggs
7. 1/2 cup milk
8. 2 cups whole wheat flour
9. 2 cups chocolate chips
10. coarse decorator sugar, for topping
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease (or line with muffin cups, and grease the muffin cups) a standard-size muffin pan.
2. Beat together the butter, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time; then stir in the milk. Mix in the flour, then the chocolate chips.
3. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups; theyll be quite full. Sprinkle each muffin with a little coarse sugar. Bake the muffins for 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of one comes out without crumbs clinging to it (a little chocolate is OK!).
