Feeding a handful of fifteen year old boys, nevermind a thirteen year old sister and her friend, is no small feat.  We went the simple route for dinner: many large pizzas and soda.  In the morning, I debated picking up donuts, but I decided to take the easier route, or at least what is the easier route for me: baking muffins.

My mom was a fan of the Betty Crocker cookbook and used it for some of the baked goods she made.  Included in that list are the Sweet Muffins to which you can add a variety of ingredients.  While this recipe was a good start, I decided to change it a little and make it my own.  For a little depth of flavor I added vanilla, and for a little sweetness I added an extra tablespoon of sugar.  And of course, to feed a gaggle of teens, I needed to double the recipe.

While I made these with chocolate chips to please our chocolate-loving group, they could be made with blueberries or any variety of ingredients.
