Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit by calling these “muffins”. The crumb is so light and soft and chocolatey, that it’s really hard to tell it apart from a chocolate cupcake. But in the absence of frosting (and the appearance of streusel, which is definitely a “muffin thing”), we’ll go […]
So… remember that just-like-grandma-made blueberry muffin recipe I shared last week? Turns out they also make the best-ever Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Muffins.
