“Muffins turned out perfect. My whole family enjoyed them” -Lisa

Mini muffins are by far the most requested snack from my kids. They never last long in our house and are always a snack I can count on them eating!

I’m not sure if it’s the mini adorable size, but my kids will eat these up and request 2-4 muffins each in for a snack. They are the perfect lunchbox size and easy to keep on hand for a snack or something for your sweet tooth!

Since they love mini muffins so much, I always try to sneak in a little nutrition into them where I can. In this case, that’s greek yogurt! It’s a great way to make muffins moist and add a little protein too.

My boys will eat mini muffins of all kinds and I’ll share a few more recipes they love at the bottom of this post.

Ingredients & Notes

The full recipe and instructions are located at the bottom of this post, but here is what you will need to make these muffins.

Whole milk greek yogurt: the unsweetened kind
Unsalted butter
Eggs
All-purpose flour
Cocoa powder: or substitute raw cacao powder
Maple syrup: the real stuff. This is one my favorite natural sweetener to bake with.
Vanilla extract
Salt: just a little bit to make the flavors pop.
Baking powder & baking soda: our leavening agents.
Mini semi sweet chocolate chips: mini chips mean there’s chocolate in every bite!

How to make healthy chocolate mini muffins

You can find the full printable recipe with the instructions at the bottom of this post, but here’s the photo step by step.

Step 1: Whisk together the flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder in a mixing bowl until combined.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the greek yogurt, vanilla extract, melted butter, and maple syrup. Whisk in the eggs.

Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined using a rubber spatula. Do not over mix the batter.

Step 4: Fold the mini chocolate chips into the muffin batter.

Step 5: Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. Distribute the batter into the pan, filling each mini muffin tin ¾ of the way full.

Recipe Note

This will make 1 and a half tins full of mini muffins, you will not use all the batter for one muffin tin. This recipe yields 36 mini muffins in total.

Step 6: Bake the healthy chocolate mini muffins at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool the muffins for 2-3 minutes in the pan, then remove them onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
