Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate, larger bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the mini muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a Little Bites copycat texture, do not use paper liners; bake directly in the greased mini muffin tin.
- You can easily make this a freezer friendly muffins recipe by cooling them completely and storing them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
- If you want a slightly healthier mini muffins recipe, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour.
