Warm muffins with chocolate chips! LOVES IT!
A cup of coffee + that entire batch of muffins = my happiness!
Hey Hey Hey! Guess what I’m doing? Thinking about back to school stuff AND packing up my suitcase. Tonight is our last night here in Macedonia and tomorrow morning I will be on a plane, back to the good ol’ US of A. As you know, I hate flying, so, uhm, pray for me. Hate = fear. Fear = stuck to my seat for 18 hours. Ugh!
But you guys… our time here has been way beyond awesome and fun and incredible. I am going to miss it so, so much!! However, school starts in a week which means I need to get meself back home and these kids back on the bus. YES! 😉 A few dozen of these muffins should help us with getting back in the game asap.
A word about these treats. A handful of these makes for a perfect snack. In all honesty, I could make a meal out of ’em. They beg for one bite grabs every time you walk passed the kitchen counter. Dare I say they remind me of Costco’s muffins. In fact, couple years back, I used to make muffins for a local coffee shop and they themselves dubbed MY muffins recipe as a copycat of Costco’s. Tootin’ my own horn? Yes, I am.
I have two to three different muffins recipes that are my go-to, so I made a few different batches for, you know, recipe research and stuff, and I settled on this recipe because it’s,
1. delicious
2. chocolate chips!
3. Eeeeee-asy
4. the little ones running around my legs and tugging on my clothes thought that these were the best.
ENJOY!

Great flavor but batter consistency is very runny so chips sink to the bottom. I’ll try reducing milk and adding flour? I’ve made these a few times and finally read the comments!
I made these today and the chocolate chips sank to the bottom. I even added an additional 1/2 c of flour recommend by another individual. These have good flavor but disappointed in the consistency.
I just added an additional 1/2 cup of flour and that seems to fix the chocolate chips sinking to the bottom. Good luck!
Just made these and all my chocolate chips sank to the bottom, causing them to stick terribly. Super disappointed. Great flavor, but something in the recipe is off.
I just made these and they were disappointing. I realized after baking the ratio of milk to flour was pretty high. There was also no fat like butter or oil so the batter was really runny and the chips sank to the bottom. The flavor was lacking something..I think it was butter. I bake all the time so not sure what happened.
The same thing happened to ours!
Can i replace the skim milk with soy milk?
Hi! Yes, absolutely.
They are in the oven! I can’t wait to crack one open!
Love these perfectly poppable muffins!
These mini muffins are so cute (and look so yummy)! Definitely a great idea for a little lunch box treat, or after school snack! Can’t wait to try them!
Safe journey! Those muffins look so good! I love muffins. It’s my saint’s day (Clare of Assisi) today, so I just may make those muffins for dessert.
