Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Mini chocolate chips, for topping
- Diced strawberries, for topping
- Blueberries, for topping
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cane sugar, whole milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula just until combined.
- Fill all 24 mini muffin cups evenly with batter.
- Top each cup with your choice of mini chocolate chips, diced strawberries, blueberries, or leave some plain.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops look set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins rest in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the muffins carefully from the pan and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter, or the muffins may turn dense.
- Dry berries well before adding them so the centers do not become too moist.
- Use mini chocolate chips for the best topping distribution.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freeze cooled muffins in a freezer bag and reheat as needed for quick breakfasts.
