Cocoa Wheats Flavored Muffins

[hilarei]

so, while trying to whips up a quick batch of chocolate muffins, and being slightly distracted by my "little helper,"  i made a mistake that ended up being pretty tasty. (i forgot the baking powder)  after a few bites, my husband and i agreed that they tasted like Cocoa Wheats: a hint of chocolate and not super sweet.  and they look like them too!


   1/2 butter, melted          1 egg, beaten          2/3c. milk
   1 tsp. vanilla                 1 3/4c. flour
   3/4-1c sugar                    1 heaping Tb Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  mix all ingredients well.  batter will be a little thin.   divide into muffin cups (regular size), sprinkle tops with sugar, and bake for 18-20 minutes

That's awesome!  My husband would love them.  He's a Cocoa Wheats fiend.

YAY!!!  cocoa wheats fans unite!     i like mine lumpy......i've got to have something to chew.  (maybe i'm a puppy?)   so, i like that these are thick and chewy since they don't have the baking powder.   

on a side note, i think i should say  " or more sugar to taste."    they have just a hint of sweetness
