Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
3 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup almond milk (or regular milk, we like almond)
1 egg
1/3 vegetable oil
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Optional: white sugar and brown sugar.

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Line your muffin pan with cupcake liners or baking cups.

In a separate, larger, bowl, place milk, oil, and egg. Whisk together.
Slowly place your dry ingredients and mix into your wet ingredients until dry ingredients are moistened.
Fill your baking cups a little over 3/4 full (not too much – we like them to be large, but not over flow!)
