What pan do you need for mini chocolate chip muffins?

If you don’t have amini-muffin pan, I highly suggest you get one. Mini muffins just simply taste great. They are faster to cook and easier to eat.

First, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray the inside of a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.

In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a separate small bowl, mix oil, egg, vanilla extract, and milk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Using a spatula, very gently fold the ingredients together.

Do not over mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into muffin tins. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full (slightly less).

Bake for 10-12 minutes until they begin to brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let cool in muffin tin for a couple of minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

When cooled to room temperature store in a covered container to prevent them from drying out. Then enjoy these bite sized treats anytime you want.

Also, instead of just spooning enough batter into each muffin cup, I love to use a baking scoop.

This is so quick and easy and delivers the perfect amount of batter every time. Once you use a scoop for spoon in your muffin batter you will never got back to the boring spoons. ? They come in a set and the smallest size work great for mini muffins.

We used a mini muffin pan but you can also make regular size muffins if you prefer.You will want to extend the cooking time since the muffins will be larger.

Whether you make mini muffins or regular size muffins, they will be a hit for sure!

Variation ideas:

• Use peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips.
