Bread: September 2008 Archives

How sad.

Now you can't make this wonderful quick chocolate treat.

Two bites of  dark chocolatey heaven.

Angie's Chocolate Choclate Chip Mini's (from starter)

2 c. flour (I use self-rising to get extra lift)
1 c. sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c. sweet bread starter
3 eggs
2/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 12oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 box devil's food or dark chocolate or chocolate pudding

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powde, baking soda, salt and chocolate pudding.

In another large mixing bowl mix together the sweet starter, eggs, oil and vanilla.

Combine the two mixes by gradually stirring in the sifted ingredients to the wet ingredients until just blended. Add chocolate chips. Mix well.

Spoon into mini baking cups.

Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Makes 96 mini cupcakes.

Careful to watch them. They may cook faster depending on your oven.

These are a cross between a great brownie and a good chocolate chip cookie.

Gonna make the starter now?

I am in the mood for fall. Have been for a couple of weeks now. I love fall apples and baking.
