Hey guys! I’m starting off the new year with another small-batch recipe- this time we’re going for some perfect Small-Batch Chocolate Chip Muffins that are insanely easy and delicious.
This recipe makes just 6 muffins, and you mix the whole thing by hand. Now that we’re settling back into our normal post-holiday routines, I think it’s time to focus in on easy bakes that don’t fill our kitchens with 25 servings at a time, so let’s get to it!
These muffins come together really quickly, and they’re super easy to make. The ingredients are super simple here- here’s everything that you’ll need for this recipe:
We’re starting by just mixing together all the dry ingredients, and stirring in all the wet ingredients. Before everything is completely combined, we’re adding in the chocolate chips. I love mini chips for this recipe, but you can use regular as well if you prefer! You want to make sure the chips get coated in a little flour as they are being mixed in.
Then we’re covering the batter and letting it rest for about 30 minutes. This allows the baking powder to really get busy, and it creates those tall, domed, muffin tops that we all know and love. Don’t skip this step, I promise it’s worth it!
I like to sprinkle the tops with more mini chips, and some granulated sugar, which creates a lightly crisp topping for the muffins. And then it’s off to the oven!
That’s pretty much it- we’ve got a perfect 6 muffins in the end and I am obsessed with this recipe. It comes together so fast, and it’s a super flexible recipe. Don’t want chocolate chips? Add in some fresh berries instead! Hope you guys enjoy this one.
I love this recipe for Small-Batch Chocolate Chip Muffins because it’s super easy, but I have some tips and tricks to help you along the way!
Enjoy!
Once your batter has rested for a full 30 minutes, scoop evenly into your prepared pan. The muffin cups should be very full here, with the batter coming up almost the top of the cups, and you should end up with 6 muffins. Generously sprinkle the tops with more sugar and additional mini chips.
