  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 24 mini muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Tender and Moist Muffin Base:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Irresistible Chocolate Chip Swirl:

  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Optional Topping for Extra Sweetness:

  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Spoon batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado or coarse sugar, if using.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. 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.
