Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the mini muffins.
- Mix Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the vegetable oil until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips carefully to distribute evenly without overmixing.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or use mini paper cupcake liners to prevent sticking.
- Scoop Batter: Using a small spoon or mini ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
- Mini muffin tins yield approximately 24-30 muffins depending on the size.
- Chocolate chips can be substituted with nuts or dried fruit for variety.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
