Butterscotch Dark Chocolate Muffins

by Carrie on April 19, 2010

I saw a recipe for butterscotch chocolate chip scones come up in my google reader this week and instantly couldn’t stop talking about them, but I can’t seem to get over my scone scare. I made them once and they were horrible and I am nervous to try them again :( I need to get over it.

But I took the flavors and ran and made this muffin…. I am SOO proud of myself for making them from scratch, a few years ago I can’t imagine create a recipe all by myself, but I did it today and these muffins are delicious and amazing!

Butterscotch Dark Chocolate Muffins (From: Myself)

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
Preheat oven to 350.

 

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.

 

Stir in sour cream, milk and vanilla and mix well.

 

Add flour, baking soda, and baking powder; mix until just moistened. 

 

Fold in dark chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.

 

Fill paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full.

 

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. 
***this makes a lot of muffins, but I wanted enough for breakfast for the week and brought a bunch of mini muffins to both of our works. You could easily half this recipe!

Wow they look & sound fantastic! I’m going to make them but make them more diabetic friendly. That must make a lot of muffins with that much flour? I’m going to use applesauce, whole wheat flour & splenda for my swap outs.

Those look SO good! And go you for making them from scratch! I’m still not brave enough to do that.
