Mini muffins have a serious grip on my kids—like, breakfast, lunchbox, and after-school snack level love. And these Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins are the soft, fluffy, chocolate-studded bites they ask for on repeat. Made with white whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, and just the right touch of sweetness, they’re a better-for-you take on the store-bought kind.

Preheat oven to 375° F for a light muffin tin or 350° for a dark muffin tin. Line or spray a mini muffin pan.

Add the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are just about combined.
Add the chocolate chips, and stir until all ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups until 2/3 full.

Notes
Age: 12+ monthsStorage: store in an air-tight container on the counter or fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Note on Flours: you can use all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, a mixture of 50/50 white and whole wheat flour, or gluten-free one-for-one flour. If using whole wheat flour, you may need to add additional milk as the batter will be thicker. Apple Cider Vinegar: helps activate the baking powder, making for a fluffier muffin. It is optional. Mini Chocolate Chips: I prefer mini chocolate chips over regular size in these mini muffins, but regular chips will also work.
