Loaded with chocolate chips, these soft, bakery style mini muffins are an easy, versatile breakfast or on-the-go snack. This recipe is quick, easy, better than store-bought muffins!
EQUIPMENT
- muffin pan - mini size, 24 count
- wire cooling rack - non-stick metal
- piping bag - disposable, 18 inch
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup milk - whole, room temperature
- 2 eggs - room temperature
- ¼ cup vegetable oil - or canola oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter - melted and slightly cooled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips - plus more for topping
INSTRUCTIONS
- Set oven to 425 °F and center oven rack. Grease a 24 count mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, lightly beat the wet ingredients: milk, eggs, vegetable oil, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fold until almost the dry ingredients have been absorbed.
- Add the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and continue to fold until all of the dry ingredients are absorbed. Allow batter to rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide batter equally, filling the cavities to the top. NOTE: The easiest way to do this is by putting the batter in a large piping bag or gallon bag. Snip off the tip and pipe it into the muffin pan.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 °F and continue to bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until done. NOTE: The muffins should spring back to the touch and be light brown on top and sides.
- Let the Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before enjoying.
