Chocolate Chip Muffins for my Birthday Breakfast

Last week I celebrated my birthday and I started the day off right- with some chocolate.  I baked chocolate chip muffins the day before for my birthday breakfast and they were a yummy start to a new year.  The recipe I used came from Taste of Home.  They weren't very moist and the consistency was more like a scone but I loved how the chocolate chips melted once the muffins were reheated.  I always make my birthday about eating good food and these muffins were a tasty way to begin the day.

1/2 t. salt

3/4 cup milk
