Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins Recipe Ingredients
- Sugar – Granulated white sugar

- Milk – Use your favorite milk, like 2% or whole milk.

- Vanilla extract – This adds a little sweetness to the muffins.

- Mini chocolate chips – Mini chocolate chips are perfect for these muffins but you can use regular semi-sweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips.
How to make Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
- Mix: Start by mixing together softened butter and sugar until it becomes creamy. I used a hand mixer to combine the ingredients. (You can replace the butter with equal amount of shortening if you prefer.)
- Add in egg, milk, and vanilla.
- Dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
- Using a spatula, stir in the mini chocolate chips. You could substitute with regular size chocolate chips.
- Bake: Scoop 1 tablespoon of the muffin mixture into prepared mini muffin pan and bake at 375 degrees F for about 12 minutes. I recommend checking the muffins at the 10 minute mark. They will be done with a toothpick comes out clean.
How to store Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins
Store: Let the muffins completely cool and store in an airtight container for a week.
Freeze: Let them cool and then place muffins in an airtight, freezer safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Let them thaw in the refrigerator and then microwave for about 30 seconds to warm.
