Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter or margarine, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1½ tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2¼ cups flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries, tossed with 1 Tbsp all purpose flour (this prevents them from all sinking to the bottom of your muffins)
  • ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (see note)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400º. Line 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In small bowl, whisk together butter, milk, vanilla, and eggs.
  3. In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in centre of dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir just until combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in berries and chocolate chips.
  4. Divide batter over 12 muffins (cups will be quite full).
  5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before removing from pan to cool on a cooling rack.
Notes
I used regular chocolate chips, but miniature ones would be even better to get chocolate into every bite! These are just as good with half the flour subsituted with all-purpose whole wheat flour. Add a drizzle of orange glaze (confectioner's sugar and a bit of orange juice) if you prefer a bit more sweetness.
