Chocolate Chip Muffins

Off late I have taken a back seat when it comes to baking.Unless I'm baking for orders{that too I have slowed down a little}I hardly bake unless it is for an occasion.I'd be lying if I said I don't miss baking,especially because Arjun loves to help me when I bake.Mixing,whisking and last but not the least,licking the bowl clean are among his favorite activities.

I am trying{trying being the word!}to cut back on sugar and if there's any home baked stuff at home,I keep reaching for it.So until I get some control on that,I decided I will bake only once in a while:) When I saw the recipe for these muffins on Le15 Sunday Baking club,I forgot all about my no-baking situation and told Arjun we'll bake these together.The joy on his face totally cheered me up if at all I had any second thoughts.

Simple bakes like these are the very reason I love baking.Fuss free recipe and such a homely feel to it.I made these into mini muffins so that I could send these in his snack box as well.Fudgy chocolate muffins with chocolate chips in every bite,delicious!!
