Earl Grey and Chocolate Chunk Muffins


I saw a recipe for earl grey cupcakes a few months ago and have been wanting to make them ever since. But I wanted to make them a little healthier so I converted them into muffins so I could add whole wheat flour and oatmeal and avoid the icing :) They turned out a little dry, so next time I would increase the oil to 1/2 cup and increase the milk to 2/3 cup.

Ear Grey Chocolate Chunk Muffins
yield: 12 medium-large muffins

1 1/2 c. white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup instant oatmeal
1 Tbsp baking powder
3 teabags of Earl Grey tea
1 egg
1/3 c. honey
1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. vegetable oil
2 oz chocolate, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degreesF. Oil and flour a muffin tin. Thoroughly mix together flour, oatmeal, baking powder, and tea leaves. Add egg, honey, milk, and oil and mix until combined. It's ok if the batter is still lumpy. Stir in chocolate pieces. Evenly divide and spoon into muffin cups. Bake for 30 min or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
