Walnut Chocolate Chip Muffins
Because this mixture doesn't quite fill up the quart jar, it isn't
necessary to pack the layers down as tightly as usual.
Layer in a clean 1 quart jar the following:
2 c. flour, mixed with 2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 c. packed brown sugar
1/3 c. granulated sugar
2/3 c. chocolate chips
1/3 c. coarsely chopped walnuts (OR macadamia, pecans)
ATTACH RECIPE TO JAR:
To make Walnut Chocolate Chip Muffins:
Spoon out walnuts & chocolate chips into small bowl. In a large
bowl, empty remaining contents of jar and stir together until well
blended. In a third bowl, stir together:
2/3 c. milk
1/2 c. butter, melted (allow to cool before mixing)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
Make a well in center of the dry ingredients. Add milk mixture and
stir just to combine. Fold in chocolate chips & walnuts. Spoon
batter into either greased or lined muffin cups (about 2/3 full).
Bake 15-20 minutes. Test for
doneness with toothpick. Cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin
cups.
Makes 12 muffins. |
