Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or buttermilk)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170g) mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix as lumps are okay.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
- Fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full with batter using a spoon or ice cream scoop.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Check muffins at 12 minutes as oven temperatures vary. These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months and can be reheated in the microwave for 30 seconds. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond milk.
