I wish I had that recipe, along with the sugar topped bagels! I have an alternative you could try:

Chocolate Chip Muffins
from Winter 2006 issue of Fine Cooking dedicated to Chocolate.

3-1/2 cups all purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1-1/3 cups granulated sugar
10 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (vanilla bean + vodka)
1-1/2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 12-cup muffin tin.

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a bowl, whisk together the butter, whole milk, sour cream, eggs, egg yolk and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently combine using a rubber spatula. Mix only until the dry ingredients are moistened (will be lumpy).

Fold in chocolate chips.

Distribute the batter among the muffin cups.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

any chance you have that recipe? or know someone who might?

like i said, this is totally random, but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask…thank you!!!
