Chocolate Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Every year for one week, my family and I rent a beach house in Aptos, California. The first time I went to this house, I was just over a year and some of my favorite childhood memories are from the beach house. It’s this massive house that sleeps like 30 of us and has this huge bay window that looks out across the ocean. We always congregate in the living room and listen to old school country (Luckenbach, Texas is my new favorite song btw) and talk and play trivia. We also always have a puzzle going- last week we completed one 2,000 piece puzzle and two 1,000 piece puzzles.

The other thing that I associate with the beach house is fresh red vines and food. We always have tons of food! And one of the things we always have is those chocolate chip muffins from Costco. They go like hot cakes at the beach house so if you want a muffin, you better eat one early in the week because they will be gone fast!

Since everyone loves these muffins and they are always gone so fast, I thought I would attempt a recipe to make at home for next year. This recipe is super easy- just throw everything in a bowl and mix. So simple! Plus, it’s perfect for those times when you need a chocolate fix. Next year at the beach, I will definitely be bringing these. Hope you enjoy 🙂
