Snack time

Nora wanted to make cookies today, but I found this recipe that we tried instead.

Double Chocolate Yogurt Muffins

3/4 packed cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1 cup vanilla flavored or plain yogurt
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose (or whole wheat pastry) flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate or bittersweet chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups.

Stir brown sugar and butter together in a medium size bowl. Add yogurt, egg and vanilla and stir until thoroughly blended.

Combine flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture, stirring only until blended. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon batter into greased muffin tins and bake for 22-25 minutes.

Makes 12

Helena was not offered a muffin and had to eat this "elephant" instead.
