Mini chocolate muffins, today mine are really very simple: eggs, sugar, flour, and oil instead of butter and obviously unsweetened cocoa. Muffins are soft cakes typical of Anglo-Saxon countries, very similar to plum cakes in dough, almost spongy with a round shape, they can be prepared with blueberries or other types of fruit or with raisins, the most classic. Small sweets to enjoy every time the desire for chocolate takes you and with mini muffins you will certainly feel less guilty. To bake mini muffins you can use paper liners and decide the sizes yourself or you can use traditional muffin molds.

Steps to Prepare Mini Chocolate Muffins

  • I always put the eggs and sugar in the stand mixer first and leave them for quite a while so that they whip well and change color.

  • Meanwhile, as the mixer goes, I sift the flour with the cocoa and baking powder. I add the oil slowly to the batter and when it is incorporated I add all three sifted powders together.

  • I preheat the fan oven to 356°F

  • I prepare the paper liners in the small muffin pan and distribute the batter evenly. I add chocolate chips on top of the mini muffins and immediately place them in the oven for 25 minutes.

  • And here they are ready, my mini chocolate muffins

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
