Instructions:

Making the Chocolate Chip Muffins:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping the muffins.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Chocolate Crepes:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and salt. Whisk using a hand mixer until well blended.
  2. Add the oil and milk to the egg mixture and mix well.
  3. Gradually sift in the flour while mixing continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until the batter is smooth.
  4. Let the batter stand for about 30 minutes to allow it to rest.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and swirl it around to coat the pan evenly.
  6. Pour a small amount of the crepe batter into the hot skillet, swirling it to spread it thinly and evenly across the bottom.
  7. Cook until the edges of the crepe start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip the crepe and cook the other side until golden.
  8. Remove the crepe from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked crepes on a plate.

Filling and Decoration:

  1. For the Chocolate Crepes, you can fill them with your favorite chocolate chips, or drizzle melted chocolate inside before rolling them up.
