There’s something nostalgic about Little Debbie Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins, and now you can make a homemade version that’s more wholesome. These little muffins are soft and moist from the Greek yogurt, and naturally sweetened with honey. They’re perfect for quick breakfasts, lunchboxes, or an after-school snack! My kids loved these!

Kelley Simmons Kelley’s Tips

Before You Get Started

  • Don’t overmix the batter. Stir the batter just until the dry ingredients are combined. Overmixing can make the muffins dense instead of light and fluffy.
  • Check on them early. Mini muffins bake quickly. Start checking on them at 9 minutes so you don’t risk them overbaking and drying out.
  • Customize them. Try mixing things up by using peanut butter chips or white chips instead!

Ingredients

  1. All-purpose flour – The base for the muffins that gives them structure while still keeping them soft and tender.
  2. Baking soda – Helps the mini muffins rise and stay nice and fluffy.
  3. Greek yogurt – I love using Greek yogurt because it adds moisture, a little tang, and it makes the muffins extra soft.
  4. Vanilla extract – Gives the muffins a warm, sweet flavor.
  5. Honey – Instead of sugar, I sweeten these muffins with honey. It adds natural sweetness and helps keep the muffins soft and tender. You could use maple syrup in place of the honey.
  6. Coconut oil – Gives the muffins richness and that soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  7. Eggs – Bind everything together.
  8. Mini chocolate chips – And of course, the best part: mini chocolate chips! I’ll fold them into the batter, and then I like to sprinkle a few on top to make them look pretty and add extra chocolate flavor!

How to Make Mini Chocolate Chip Muffins

    1. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.
    1. Whisk wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine yogurt, honey, coconut oil and eggs. Whisk to combine.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use regular sugar instead of honey?

    Yes! If you don’t have honey, you can swap it with granulated sugar, brown sugar or even maple syrup. Just know that honey adds extra moisture and a richer flavor.

    Can I use full-sized chocolate chips instead of mini?

    You can, but I recommend using mini ones since they spread out more evenly throughout the muffins. Full-sized chips tend to sink and make the muffins feel heavier.

    Can I use butter instead of coconut oil?

    Yes! Melted butter works perfectly if you don’t have coconut oil.
