Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins

This year I am baking morning tea for everyone in the lab when someone has a birthday. Everyone has written down their favorite flavors (as well as a few things they really don't like!) and I am using these flavors to create new recipes for them. The first birthday had a favorite of vanilla so I made some simple vanilla chocolate chip muffins.

Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins

Makes 12

2 Cups self raising flour
1 Cup sugar
1 Egg, lightly beaten
1 Cup milk
1/4 Cup melted butter
3 tsp vanilla bean paste
1/2 Cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (370°F). Combine the sugar and egg in a bowl and beat well. Alternate adding the flour and milk, start by adding some of the flour, then add some of the milk, combine well, then more flour, followed by more milk. Beat well.

2. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and chocolate chips

3. Spoon into a 12 hole muffin pan lined with paper cases. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked and spring back when the top is gently pressed. Remove muffins from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
