Chocolate Chip Recipes

Chocolate chip recipes are always kid-pleasing. They're easy to make and they bring back childhood memories for me every time I smell them baking!

Lickety Split Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel

In a mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk, and oil. Add all at once to dry mixture and stir. Do not beat muffin mixture - it should be a little lumpy. Fold in chocolate chips. Add grated orange peel for a little zest.

Grease muffin tray and fill with mixture to about 2/3 full. Bake in a 400F (200C) degree oven for about 20 minutes until golden.


Scrumptious Chocolate Chip Pancakes

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons raw sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
vegetable oil

Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into mixing bowl then add sugar. In a separate bowl add eggs, milk, and melted butter. Add to dry ingredients. Stir just enough to combine ingredients. Set aside a small bowlful of batter. Next fold chocolate chips into the large mixing bowl of batter.

Heat fry pan and add some oil. Spoon about two large spoonfuls of chocolate chip batter into the fry pan. Take some of the regular batter and spoon over top of pancake to cover chocolate chips (this will keep the chocolate from burning). Cook over medium heat until the pancake bubbles up. Carefully turn pancakes over and cook on other side.

Drizzle with maple syrup. Add a dollop of whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

This is one of my favorite recipes from when I was a kid.
