Course Breakfast

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Butter* You can also use browned butter
  • 1/2 cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 oz Dark Chocolate* chips, chunks or shaving
  • 1/2 cup Walnut Pieces* Optional. Also toast if using.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Also, prep your baking pan or muffin tray.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda with the salt.
  • In a bowl, whisk the butter, white sugar and brown sugar together until the mixture is a well combined pale color. I usually whisk for about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, and whisk for about 2 minutes after each addition.
  • Add in the flour mixture in 3-4 batches alternating wiht buttermilk. Incorporate each addition barely before adding the next. Do not over mix.
  • Add in the chocolate and walnut pieces if using. Mix together until well combined. Divide the batter into a muffin pan or the baking pan.
  • Place in the oven and bake until a knife inserted comes out clean. Using my deep jumbo muffin tin, it takes about 40-45 minutes. For smaller muffin tin, I suggest you start checking at 20 minutes mark.
