Decadent Chocolate Muffins with Double the Chocolate

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

2 packets CARNATION BREAKFAST ESSENTIALS® Rich Milk Chocolate High Protein Powder Drink Mix cooking spray ¾ cup milk 1 egg 3 tablespoons canola oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups baking mix (such as Bisquick ®) 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Give the liners a light spray of cooking spray so the muffins don’t stick. In a small bowl, mix the chocolate drink powder into the milk until it’s nice and smooth. In a larger bowl, beat together the brown sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Pour the chocolate milk into the egg mixture and stir it all together. Then, add the baking mix and give it a good stir until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Pop the tray into the oven and bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool a bit before enjoying!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use room temperature eggs and butter for better batter consistency.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the muffins tender and fluffy.
- Insert a toothpick into the center to check doneness; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
