Easy Chocolate Muffins

One easy sweet recipe for entertaining guests, especially kids, is for chocolate muffins.  A basket of freshly-baked muffins is so inviting to everyone. It is easy because it is quick to prepare. I always have cake mix ready, and the rest of the ingredients are either nuts, dried fruits, or frozen fruits that will complete the basic muffin recipe. For someone, like me, that is not a professional baker, baking muffins and giving them to a neighbor is always a welcome gift. The chocolate muffin is a safe bet to give away as a gift because nobody refuses to eat chocolate muffins. Here it is an easy muffin recipe.

Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
1 ½ cups cake mix
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Wet ingredients;
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°.
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.



In a Vitamix container, add eggs, milk, and oil and blend for 15 seconds.
 
 
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the beaten wet ingredients into the well.
Stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).





Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin liners (2/3 full) for each muffin.

 Bake in the preheated oven (for about 20 minutes) until golden or firm to the touch.
Let cool and serve.
