Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (room-temperature)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder

Add-ins

  • 10 ounce semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Bring Ingredients to Room Temperature: Ensure all ingredients, especially the eggs, butter, and milk, reach room temperature by letting them sit out for 30-60 minutes. This helps the batter mix evenly for a better texture.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your mini muffin tin by spraying it with nonstick spray if it is not nonstick to prevent sticking.
  3. Cream Eggs, Sugar, and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, sugar, and softened butter. Using a hand mixer on low speed, beat them together until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  4. Add Dry and Liquid Ingredients: To the creamed mixture, add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed with the hand mixer to form a smooth batter, scraping the sides with a rubber spatula to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold most of the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips into the batter, reserving some to sprinkle on top of each muffin if desired.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Using a teaspoon-sized spoon, fill each muffin cavity about 90% full with batter. Top with a few extra chocolate chips if you set some aside.
  7. Bake the Muffins: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan before carefully removing them. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely, which prevents sogginess.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy these mini chocolate chip muffins warm for a soft, melty chocolate experience or at room temperature as a delightful snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture and rise.
  • If you prefer larger muffins, you can double the baking time and use a standard muffin tin.
  • Butter can be substituted with an equal amount of oil, but flavor and texture may vary slightly.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
