Notes
Chocolate Chips - Add a cup of mini chocolate chips, either semi-sweet or white chocolate to make them even more decadent.
Streusel - Melt 5 Tablespoons butter, add a cup of flour and 3/4 cup sugar, and stir to make a streusel topping for muffins.
Powdered Sugar - Dust with a sprinkle of powdered sugar once completely cooled for a pretty touch.
Buttermilk - Substitute buttermilk for the milk to add a bit of tanginess.
Extract - Vanilla and almond extract would both be a tasty addition. Use 1 teaspoon in the wet ingredients.
