Yarn to Go

by Betty Hechtman

  In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract.

  In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until the ingredients are combined. Do not overmix. There will be lumps in the batter.

  Fill the muffin cups evenly with the batter.

  Place in the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan.
