To begin making these Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins I melted some butter in the microwave.

Then I stirred the melted butter into some granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Next I added large eggs and vanilla extract to the mixing bowl.

After stirring the ingredients together until well combined I measured in some Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour, baking powder and salt.

Once the dry ingredients were incorporated,  I poured in some almond milk.

After the milk was well combined I folded in some semi-sweet chocolate chips.  You can use regular size or mini depending on your preference or what you have on hand.

Then I sprayed a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.

I scooped the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling about 3/4 full.

Then I placed the muffin pans into a preheated 350F oven for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After removing the muffins from the oven I allowed them to cool in the pan for a few minutes.

After a few minutes I flipped the Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins onto their sides to continue cooling.

These muffins have a subtle vanilla or butter flavor, complementing the rich chocolate chips.

Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins are often just the right size for a quick sweet treat.

Enjoy every bite of these gluten free muffins!

How do I store mini chocolate chip muffins?

To store mini chocolate chip muffins and keep them fresh, here are a few options:

1. Room Temperature (2-3 days):

• Allow muffins to cool completely before storing.
• Place them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag with a paper towel at the bottom to absorb moisture.
• Add another paper towel on top before sealing the container to prevent them from becoming soggy.

2. Refrigeration (up to 1 week):

• After cooling, wrap the muffins in plastic wrap or foil, or store them in an airtight container.
• Refrigeration can extend their freshness, but the muffins may dry out slightly, so you can microwave them for a few seconds to soften before eating.

3. Freezing (up to 3 months):

• Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or foil once they’ve cooled.
• Place the wrapped muffins in a freezer-safe bag or container.
• To thaw, leave them at room temperature or microwave them in 10-20 second intervals for a quick snack.

For the best taste and texture, room temperature storage is ideal for short-term, while freezing works great for longer storage.
