Alethia's Chocolate Chip Muffins

What's great about these muffins is that they only have 1/4 cup sugar in them yet still taste delicious!

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour (use half white and half whole wheat flour for a bit of a healthier option)
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons salt
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
2. In a separate bowl beat 1 egg and then add the milk and oil.
3. Add wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix well.
4. Mix in chocolate chips until it "looks yummy" (Alethia's directions!)
5. GREASE MUFFIN TIN! (I did not do this the first time, bad news!)
6. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.

Blueberry Muffin variation:
Instead of chocolate chips, add 1 cup of fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) blueberries and 2 extra tablespoons of sugar and fold into the batter. You can also add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice for an optional zest!
