There is something so special about mini muffins. They are the perfect size for little hands or when you just want a small sweet bite with your morning coffee. These muffins come together quickly and are soft enough that everyone in the family will ask for seconds.

I love that you can customize the base recipe so easily. Whether you are craving fruit, chocolate, or a classic cinnamon spice, this simple batter works perfectly every single time. It is my favorite recipe for busy mornings.

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup blueberries (for variation 1)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (for variation 2)
1/2 cup chopped strawberries (for variation 3)
1 teaspoon cinnamon mixed with 2 tablespoons sugar (for variation 4)

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a mini muffin tin well.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Divide the batter into four equal portions if you want to make all flavors, or fold your chosen add ins directly into the main bowl of batter.
6
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three quarters of the way full.
7
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

Store your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. They also freeze beautifully, so keep a bag in the freezer for a quick grab and go breakfast throughout the week.
