Living overseas as I do and far away from most of my old friends and family, it’s not often that I get a chance to take part in wedding or baby showers. But this past weekend, I was delighted to be invited to a wedding shower for the bride-to-be of my friend Sandra’s son, Matthew. I loved meeting all the young women who attended and getting to know them and our guest of honor.
It was such fun! Sandra outdid herself, planning activities and games and, of course, there was a lot of delicious food to eat. I contributed a couple of dishes to the table, these chocolate chocolate chip mini muffins included. For my money, nothing says party like mini muffins, either sweet or savory. I hope you agree!
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
Ingredients - for 36 mini muffins3/4 cup or 180ml milk
1/2 cup or 125g plain, unsweetened yogurt
2 cups or 250g flour
1/2 cup or 40g cocoa powder
3/4 cup or 150g brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup or 80ml canola or other light oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup or 150g semisweet chocolate chips
Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C. Prepare three 12-cup mini muffin pans by greasing them or lining them with paper muffin cups.
Add the yogurt to the milk in a measuring cup. Stir and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and vanilla, along with the milk/yogurt mixture.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, until just combined.
There may still be some flour showing and that’s fine. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Use a scoop or large spoon to fill the prepared muffin cups. They are going to be pretty full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. You do not want to over bake these and dry them out.
Put the muffin pans on a wire rack to cool for about five minutes.
Remove the muffins from the pan and continue to cool on the wire rack. You can eat these warm but be prepared to lick melted chocolate chips off of your fingers.
Enjoy!
