Chocolate chip muffins

Muffins, oh how I love muffins, for years I could never find a muffin, for that matter  I could never find a muffin tin.  Then I had the bright idea of using a muffin recipe and making it into a loaf pan.  Sorry not the same thing.

I remember my office days in Toronto, and how a couple of my co-workers and I would go down to the concourse and buy our super sized muffins and large coffee.  How I miss those amazing, delicious and 1000 calorie delights.

So who do I thank?  Bake off UK and Cake Boss?  Without them I probably never would have found my long-lost muffin tins.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the extra-large tins, so medium will have to  do.  Now  if you love muffins as much as I do, this is a pretty damn good chocolate chip muffin recipe, especially with the crumb topping.  Buon appetito!
