Mini Muffins Recipe
Description
The recipe uses all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt as dry components, which create a balanced texture and leavening for the muffins. The wet ingredients include vegetable oil, egg, sour cream, vanilla, and mashed ripe bananas, contributing moisture and natural sweetness. Mini chocolate chips folded into the batter offer a melty, sweet contrast.
The batter is mixed to just combine to avoid tough muffins, then spooned into prepared mini muffin tins. Baking at 375°F for approximately 8-10 minutes results in muffins with lightly browned tops and a soft crumb. The mini size makes them ideal for portion control and sharing.
Chocolate chips can be omitted or substituted with small fruit pieces like blueberries or chopped strawberries to vary the flavor. Using mini chocolate chips ensures even distribution and prevents heavy sinking to the bottom.
Ingredients

- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients.
