Vanilla base muffin with lots of semi-sweet chocolate chips, then topped with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
These Chocolate Chip Muffins got buried in draft mode on my blog. I made them the same time I made these Carrot Cake Muffins for a brunch I hosted during my daughter’s graduation weekend back in May. Have you ever hosted a get together in house that itsn’t yours?
We rented a house near the graduation festivities for that weekend, and I don’t know about you, but I feel totally lost in someone else’s space! It’s kind of like shopping in a grocery store you’re not familiar with.
I feel completely disoriented strolling up and down the isles, looking for items that end up being on the other side of the store! In this case, I was constantly opening and closing drawers and cabinets! I was so glad that I brought several prepared dishes and these muffins!

Oh yea, know the feeling, spend more time looking for things and sometimes when you do find what you need it is not quite what you are used to and that’s another challenge.
Your muffins look yummy, love any thing with chocolate.
