- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt

For the Irresistible Chocolate Chip Swirl:

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Spoon batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Sprinkle the tops with turbinado or coarse sugar, if using.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
Notes
For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
