Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins are a great breakfast or snack. Bite sized muffins that taste just like a chocolate chip cookie. One of our family favorites!
I love anything that involves chocolate chips like this chocolate chip bundt cake or these German chocolate chip cookies. So naturally these mini chocolate chip muffins have a special place in my heart…and stomach.
I tend to gravitate towards making mini muffins because they are so easy to pop in your mouth. I feel like if I have 2 or 3 minis it isn’t as bad as 2 or 3 regular sized muffins.
Why this recipe works
- Bite size muffin great for on-the-go breakfast or afternoon snack.
- Kid and adult friendly. Everyone loves these!
How to make mini chocolate chip muffins
- Mix: Start by mixing together softened butter and sugar until it becomes nice and creamy. I use a hand mixer to combine the ingredients. *** You can replace the butter with the same amount of shortening if you prefer.
- Add in egg, milk and vanilla.
- Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
- Using a spatula, stir in mini chocolate chips. You could use regular chocolate chips, just use fewer.
- Bake: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into prepared mini muffin tin and bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes. My oven is closer to 12-15 but I recommend checking them at the 10 minute time. You can insert a toothpick to see if it comes out clean or lightly touch the top of the chocolate chip muffins to see if they are done.
How to store
Store: Let these completely cool and store in an airtight container for a week.
Freeze: Let completely cool. Place muffins in airtight, freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator and then microwave for about 30 seconds to heat.
