Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg room temperature
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips divided into ¾ cup and ¼ cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray the mini muffin tin with nonstick baking spray and set aside.
- Mix together the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat or whisk together the egg, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together just until combined. There should be lumps in the batter.
- Fold in ¾ cup of the mini chocolate chips.
- Use a 1 to 2 tablespoon cookie dough scoop or a tablespoon to scoop the batter into each muffin tin cavity. Fill each cup ¾ of the way full. Sprinkle some of the remaining chocolate chips over the tops of the batter.
- Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean.
- Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, you want to stir as little as possible for the most tender muffins. Remember, it’s okay to have lumps in the batter; overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your muffins at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
- Do not leave the muffins to cool in the mini muffin pan. The heat from the pan will continue to cook them, and they will dry out.
