  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1-1/4 cups milk

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Fill each muffin cup 1/3 full, and place a chocolate egg in the center of each.
