How to make chocolate chip mini muffins

Step 1: Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl: flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk them together until combined.

Step 2: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients for the muffins together. Whisk the greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted butter together. Whisk in the eggs.

I love using greek yogurt in muffin recipes because it adds such a great fluffiness to the muffins. These healthy chocolate muffins are another favorite of ours that uses greek yogurt.

Once you have combined the wet ingredients together, it’s time to finish mixing the muffin batter.

Step 3: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, until just combined. Do not over mix as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 4: Fold in the mini chocolate chips into the muffin batter using a rubber spatula.

Step 5: Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Distribute the muffin batter evenly into the 24 mini muffin cups. Top the muffin batter with additional mini chocolate chips.
