My dear friend Alisha in London requested this recipe so I thought I’d share it on here for your baking pleasure…these are so yummy- especially with a hot cup of coffee.

3/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup dark chocolate (or semi-sweet if you prefer) chips

In seperate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Add wet mixture and lightly stir in chocolate chips. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Makes one dozen.
