My momma is known for her black bottom muffins... no one can make them quite like her... but I do try! Mine are actually pretty good too, I have won over my colleagues at the office with them; they are always a favourite at my many open houses! I have been asked to share the recipe, so here it is! :o)
What you will need:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup coco
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
MIX DRY INGREDIENTS TOGETHER
then add:
2 cups water
2/3 cup oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons vanilla
MIX WITH MIXER
IN A SEPERATE BOWL, CREAM TOGETHER THE FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS:
1 package of cream cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
a sprinkle of salt
ONCE ALL INGREDIENTS ARE CREAMED TOGETHER BY HAND; USE THE MIXER TO MIX THEM AND TO GET THE LUMPS OUT!
then add:
1/2 package of chocolate chips
MIX CHOCOLATE CHIPS THROUGH THIS CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE BY HAND.
SPOON THE CHOCOLATE MIXTURE INTO MUFFIN CUPS- 3/4 FULL IS GOOD. I SUGGEST THE FOIL CUPS, AS THEY BETTER PROTECT THE BOTTOMS FROM BAKING TOO MUCH. ONCE ALL YOUR CUPS ARE FILLED, ADD A GOOD SIZED DOLLOP OF THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE TO THE MIDDLE OF EACH. USE THE HANDLE OF THE SPOON TO POKE THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE DOWN IN THE CENTRE SO IT SINKS TO THE BOTTOM!
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 325 DEGREES, WHEN READY, POP THE MUFFINS IN AND BAKE FOR 20 MINS.
*** Depending on your oven, you may require more or less time. I suggest setting the oven to 18 mins and watch them closely from there. When the chocolate is firm to the touch, remove from the oven!
Allow to cool on baking racks or on a tea towel and serve once they have reached a good temperature- BEST MUFFINS EVER! They can be frozen as well... actually they are delicious right out of the freezer too!
HAPPY BAKING!
