❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
1. Can I use regular chocolate chips instead of mini?
Yes, you can use regular chocolate chips. Mini chips are better for mini muffins because they distribute more evenly and prevent large pockets of chocolate. Regular chips will work but may sink a bit more.
2. How do I store these mini muffins?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave for a few seconds.
3. Can I make these muffins dairy free?
Yes, simply use a plant based milk like almond or oat milk and replace the butter with a dairy free margarine or coconut oil. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.
4. Why did my muffins come out dry?
Overmixing the batter or baking too long are the most common causes. Mix just until the flour is incorporated and check for doneness a minute or two early. Every oven is different so start checking at 10 minutes.
5. Can I add other mix ins?
Absolutely. Try adding 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, pecans, or dried cranberries. You can also swap half the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips for a different flavor.
