Ingredients Needed

Here is the line up of what you will need to make your own little bites copycat muffins. The full recipe and instructions is at the bottom of this post.

  • Greek Yogurt: you need plain full fat unsweetened Greek yogurt for this recipe. It makes the muffins so fluffy and adds a bit of protein too!
  • Unsalted butter
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Salt
  • Baking powder and baking soda: our leavening agents.
  • Pure maple syrup: my favorite all natural sweetener to use when baking for kids.
  • All-purpose flour: or whole wheat pastry flour.

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.

Joy’s Tip

My favorite tool for making mini muffins is a mini cookie scoop. It make the process of adding the batter to the pan go a lot quicker!

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

Allow the mini muffins to cool several minutes, then run a knife along the edges to remove them onto a wire cooling rack.

How to store

Store any leftover mini muffins in an airtight bag or container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

My kids and I usually eat the whole batch within a few days. It’s hard to just eat one when they are so good!
