Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins Ingredients

Diving into the world of baking can be an exciting journey, especially when you’re about to make something as delightful as our mini chocolate chip muffins. 

Basic pantry staples come together to form the base of these delectable muffins, while the mini chocolate chips add a burst of chocolate flavor to every bite. 

Substitutions and Additions

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR: If you want a healthier alternative, you can use whole wheat flour. However, this might make the muffins denser.

VEGETABLE OIL: You can use melted butter for a richer flavor or coconut oil for a healthier option.

WHOLE MILK: Non-dairy milk, like almond milk or oat milk, can be used as a dairy-free version.

MINI SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Feel free to use dark chocolate chips for a less sweet version or white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.

SOUR CREAM: You can add a half cup of sour cream along with the wet ingredients to add moisture, though the muffins may not puff as nicely.

How To Make This Mini Chocolate Chips Muffins Recipe

Let’s embark on this culinary journey to create our delightful chocolate chip mini muffin recipe.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray the mini muffin tin with nonstick baking spray and set aside.

STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.

STEP THREE: In a separate bowl, beat or whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk.

STEP FOUR: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together just until combined. There should be lumps in the batter.

STEP FIVE: Fold in three-quarters of a cup of the mini chocolate chips.

STEP SIX: Use a 1 to 2-tablespoon cookie dough scoop or a tablespoon to scoop the batter into each muffin tin cavity.

Fill each cup three-quarters of the way full. Sprinkle some of the remaining chocolate chips over the tops of the batter.

STEP SEVEN: Bake in the preheated oven for eight to nine minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.

STEP EIGHT: Cool muffins in the pan for five minutes. Remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
