Chocolate Blackberry Muffins and Grilled Onion Tomato Bacon Cheese Sandwhiches

So what is a sister to do when her little brother calls and says he wants a muffin recipe to impress his new girlfriend? And that he wants certain flavors in it? She makes him a recipe of course. Hubby and I had to try it out first and they were super yummy!!

CHOCOLATE BLACKBERRY MUFFINS
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup safflower oil
1 cup blackberry jam (seedless)
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips, chopped or chipped smaller
PURE or muffin liners

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Line muffin tin with paper liners or spray with PURE.
  
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
• Whisk together the milk, egg and oil.
• Pour into the well.
• Mix together quickly with a wooden spoon. Do not beat! (The mixture will be slightly lumpy.
• Fold in the jam and chocolate pieces.
• Pour into muffin tins.
• Bake 25 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack.

*Sometimes I will make Texas muffins instead and a couple of muffin tops only!

So while the muffins were baking, we needed lunch and I stirred up these yummy sandwiches.
