Little Bites Mini Muffins (Printable Version)

Tender bite-sized mini muffins with yogurt and optional chocolate chips or blueberries, ready in under 30 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
04 - 1 tsp baking powder
05 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
06 - 1/4 tsp salt

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 1/3 cup vegetable oil
08 - 1/3 cup milk
09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
11 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream

→ Optional Add-ins

12 - 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until smooth and well blended.
04 - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep muffins tender.
05 - Gently fold in mini chocolate chips or blueberries, if using, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
06 - Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
07 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
08 - Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They bake in under twelve minutes, which means warm homemade treats with almost zero waiting.
  • The batter comes together in one bowl sequence, so cleanup is painless and quick.
02 -
  • Overmixing is the fastest way to turn tender muffins into rubbery ones, so stop folding the moment the flour disappears.
  • Every oven runs differently, so start checking at the ten minute mark to avoid dry muffins.
03 -
  • Let your wet ingredients come to room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter and more even rise.
  • A tablespoon of sour cream on top of each muffin before baking creates a tiny, tangy surprise center.
