Blueberry (Or Chocolate Chip) Mini Muffins

May M's Note:

This is my go-to recipe for blueberry or chocolate chip muffins. These are soft and moist and stay that way even when cooled. I think they are the perfect sweetness, too. An endless variety of mix-ins can be used. (Recipe is scaled down for 16-18 mini or 5-6 standard muffins.)

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 16 mini mu ...

DRY

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (1 cup weighs 4.5 oz)
• 3/8 cup white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup blueberries (or other mix-ins) or 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or other mix-ins)

WET

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1/8 cup grapeseed oil or 1/8 cup canola oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 deg. F.
2. Whisk dry ingredients and mix-ins in one bowl and set aside.
3. Whisk wet ingredients in another bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and use a spatula to very gently fold mixtures together, about 5 or 6 strokes only. There will be lumps; do not over-mix.
4. Spoon batter into greased mini muffin tin and bake at 375 deg. F. for 10-12 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

Just for everyone's info, 3/8 of a cup is equal to 6 Tbsp., and 1/8 cup is equal to 2 Tbsp. Still working on the recipe, but I thought this might be helpful.

Quick, Easy and delicious. I did add cinnamon and sugar sprinkled over the top before baking, however I wouldn't make any other changes.

My daughter's FAVORITE!!! As quick and easy as a mix, but way better. I cut the sugar to 1/3 c and the mini chocolate chips (our favorite) to 2/3 c. Perfect! This morning I made breakfast muffins but cutting the sugar to just under 1/4 c and adding 1/3 c cooked & finely chopped bacon and 1/3 c shredded cheddar cheese. They were gobbled up as soon as they came out of the oven. If I make them for breakfast again, I will cut the sugar just a bit more, and add a bit more cheese. These muffins are so versatile. Using a small PC scoop - makes 24 mini muffins. Or - it makes 6 big muffins.
