I loved it! However, I did add 1/4 cup more milk and 1 tbsp more oil (I think it should resemble a cake batter when all is mixed together). Also did 3/4 cup of cocoa because I like it chocolately! And, lastly, I used 1/2 tsp salt and will use a bit more next time around. It is pretty hard to toothpick-test something with chocolate chips because the toothpick can come out wet even if the batter is done, so I just recommend that you cook for 25 minutes and it should come out as perfect as mine did! Great recipe -- thanks so much!

The muffins were great! Very easy to make and lovely to eat, considering this is only my third attempt at baking! Everyone loved them! I also took the advice of SukeyNY and used the following: 1.5 cups of milk, 3 tbsp of oil, 3/4 cup of cocoa and 1/2 tsp salt. Also, we made a mistake when purchasing the ingredients and got chopped almonds instead of whole ones, so we used a 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts + 1/3 cup of chopped almonds in addition to the chocolate chips. The muffins tasted wonderful anyway, and richer besides. We also forgot to sprinkle the sugar before baking, but reading the other reviews, I guess that's just as well. With all the extras, this recipe can yield at LEAST 16 muffins. We made 12 anyway by filling the muffin cups to the top so they were HUGE and lopsided but very moist. I hope this helped!
