Cocoa Muffins
I'm
particularly proud of these, since I developed the recipe back when I
was allergic to chocolate, and had to depend entirely on my
well-trained tasters to evaluate each batch. Now that I'm eating
chocolate again, I love them. Chocolate, tasty, and darn-near
guilt free at that.
Pan 12-muffin tins, well greased or lined with muffin cups
Oven 375 degrees F Time 20 minutes
Mill:*
250g soft wheat
1 1/2 t soda

2 t vanilla

1/2 C chopped toasted walnuts or
other nuts of your choice
Whisk together dry ingredients.

using.

spring back when pressed lightly.
