Small-batch Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
The Small-batch Chocolate Chip Muffins recipe features a simple mixing method beginning with dry ingredients like all-purpose flour, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt. The wet ingredients include vegetable oil, egg white, sour cream, and vanilla extract, which together produce a moist batter when combined with the dry mix. By folding in chocolate chips, each muffin gets pockets of melted chocolate after baking.
The batter is portioned into four cupcake liners and baked at 375°F until a toothpick shows only a few crumbs, and the muffin tops spring back when pressed gently. This baking results in soft-centered muffins with a slightly resilient top, balancing moisture and structure.
These muffins work well as a small treat or breakfast addition, offering familiar chocolate chip flavor in a manageable quantity. The optional espresso powder adds a subtle depth without imparting strong coffee taste.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 60 g
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon espresso powder optional but extra delicious
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50g
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg large, white
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line your muffin tin with 4 cupcake liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine sugar and oil, and whisk until well-combined. Add egg white, sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until just combined and then fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide mixture between your prepared muffin tins. Bake for 17 to 21 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out with only a few dry crumbs and when gently pressed, the muffin top springs back.
- Cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
