Ingredients for Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins
Here’s what you’ll need for these delicious mini muffins:
How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins
Start by mixing together the flour, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips in a large bowl. Set aside.
Next, melt the butter. Place it in the fridge to cool for 5 minutes. In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and wet ingredients. Whisk in the melted butter.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry and fold together until it just comes together. Scoop into a mini muffin pan that is lined with muffin liners or sprayed well with nonstick spray.
Sprinkle with coarse turbinado sugar if desired (it adds a delicious little crunch to the top that I LOVE) and bake. You’ll get 48 mini muffins out of this recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these mini chocolate chip muffins? Yes! Place them on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour, or until hard. Put them in a freezer safe bag or container and label. Good for up to 2 months in the freezer. To thaw, set out on the counter for about an hour.
I don’t have buttermilk. What do I do? You can easily make your own. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup. Pour whole milk to the 1 cup line. Let sit for 5 minutes then stir and use as recipe states. In a pinch, you could also use plain milk but the texture won’t be as fluffy and they won’t have a the little tang that pairs so nicely with the chocolate chips.
How long do they last? They will be good in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
I don’t have mini chocolate chips. Can I use regular sized chocolate chips? Yes. I like using mini chips so that there is little bits throughout the muffin but regular chocolate chips would work too.
