Muffins:
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 cup (8 oz) plain Yogurt or Sour Cream, reduced fat would work fine
1 tsp Vanilla
2 cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

Topping
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Flour
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 cup semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup chopped Pecans
2 Tablespoons Butter



Heat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add yogurt and vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill paper lined muffin cups two-thirds full.

For the topping:
Stir together brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add chocolate chips and pecans, stir. Crumble in butter with a pastry blender or use your fingers til it's crumbly. Spread topping over muffins.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 1 dozen.

  2. The Dutch version of the waffle is known as the Stroopwafels. These have been in existence since the 18th or 19th century. They are basically thin waffles full of syrup. Balls of batter made from brown sugar, butter, yeast, milk, eggs and flour are placed on the waffle iron.
