Join me in the kitchen as I make a batch of these family favorite muffins!
Simple Ingredients
I love that the ingredients are for the most part, pantry staples. If you have some overripe bananas on hand, you could be eating muffins in no time! Chocolate chips, flour, baking soda, butter, egg, vanilla and sugar. So simple and so delicious.

A Sweet Little Note About Sugar
I made this batch of muffins with regular granulated sugar. In the past, I’ve also made them with Domino Golden Sugar and y’all, that is one scrumptious sugar.
Golden sugar tastes like a cross between granulated sugar and brown sugar. The subtle hint of molasses makes everything so incredibly delicious. As you can see here, granulated sugar works great, too!

- Once combined, fill each prepared muffin cup almost full with batter. Garnish the top of the batter with some mini chocolate chips, if desired.

We’re on our third time making these muffins. The kids love them, they’re easy to make and so delicious! Thank you for this recipe!
Hi, Brittani! I’m so glad y’all enjoy them so much! Thank you for sharing ❤️
This was an easy and fun recipe to make with my 4 year old grandson. Delicious!
★★★★★
Hi, Su! Aw, that sounds like such a fun memory. I am so glad you enjoyed them!
Love this recipe! I am NOT a baker, and what I liked about this recipe is that I had everything already in the fridge/pantry (and that there’s no oil) I made a double batch and they turned out perfectly! Used salted butter & regular sized chocolate chips because thats what I had on hand.
★★★★★
Hi, Monica! I’m so glad they turned out so well! To be honest, I’m not always a huge stickler about unsalted butter. Sometimes, you just use what you got! I’m glad you enjoyed them! ❤️
Love these muffins! My son and I make them weekly! They have been my go-to breakfast while pregnant! Any idea if substituting olive oil for butter is an option?
★★★★★
Hi Devan! I’m so happy to hear you and your son bake these mini muffins so often. I hope y’all continue to enjoy every week! 🙂 I haven’t tested the recipe with olive oil instead of melted butter, but it should work great. A general rule for substituting olive oil for butter is to use a bit less olive oil than what’s called for in the recipe. So for this recipe, I would recommend using 1/3 cup olive oil in place of the 1/2 cup melted butter that is called for in the recipe. I hope this helps. Enjoy!
I’ve made these once a week for the past month. My kiddos LOVE them. And mini muffins are the perfect serving size. So tasty!

Hi, Emeline! I’m so glad y’all enjoy them! We always have a batch on hand, too. ❤️
Love these recipes but have trouble with knowing how much to use when ingredients don’t have a quantity go weigh. Coming from Australia I have no idea how much one stick of butter is? Is anyone able to help?
Hi Delise! There are several great cooking conversion charts that you can find on the internet. You could also use this cooking recipe converter: https://www.thecalculatorsite.com/cooking/cooking-calculator.php Hope this helps. Enjoy!
I want to give 4 1/2 stars…so yummy.
Does anyone know the nutrition info?
★★★★
I made these a couple of times and they so good! I added crushed peanuts for nutty flavor and texture and also a sprinkle of kosher salt with the flour+baking soda. Yum!
Made these today and they were absolutely delicious! I made them for my kids but mommy are like half the batch!!! I made these almost l to a T the only thing different I did was I used light brown sugar instead of white sugar and I also added in 1/3 cup of peanut butter chips because why not!
