Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 quarter teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips or blueberries (optional)
  • 0 none Maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Don't overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  5. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.

💡 Chef's Notes

Arrange the mini muffins on a platter. You can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for added flair and serve with a small bowl of maple syrup for dipping.
