Bourbon Chocolate Muffins

Another recipe I got from my son Jordan.  He finds lots of good recipes and this one is worth trying.  We usually do them as mini muffins.  A plate of assorted mini muffins would be great for a brunch get together.

Bourbon Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
8 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbsp. bourbon whiskey
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.  Line muffin tins with paper liners, or spray mini muffin pan with non stick spray.

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.  When thoroughly mixed, add the brown sugar and stir well, breaking up any lumps in the sugar.

In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and bourbon.  Pour the egg mixture into the dry mixture, then pour the melted butter in over the egg mixture.  Stir until ingredients are well mixed, being careful not to over-beat.  Stir in the chocolate chips.

Divide batter equally among muffin cups and bake for 23-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  If using mini muffin pan the bake time will be shorter, around 15-20 minutes.
