Easy Chocolate Mini Muffins
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup buttermilk
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for an extra chocolatey version)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in dense muffins.
5. If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
6. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, fill each mini muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve these delightful Easy Chocolate Mini Muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re sure to disappear quickly, so make a double batch if you’re feeding a crowd!
Enjoy these mini muffins with a glass of cold milk, a cup of hot coffee, or as a sweet treat on their own.
