I don’t know about your kids, but mine LOVE all those individual snack bags. Ones that they can grab and go anytime. But I personally, like knowing what’s in the snacks and treats my kids eat. These mini muffins are my nod to those ones you see in the store. You know which ones I’m talking about. The ones with “chocolate” chips, and tons of other stuff I can’t necessarily pronounce.
Well, this recipe is not only even better in flavor, but you can pronounce all of the ingredients! These muffins are a huge favorite with ALL of my kids. Even the pickiest ones. I like to make a good amount on Sunday and have them on hand for the week so they can grab a bag for breakfast, part of their lunch, or even as part of their afternoon snack!
I know you and your family will love them too. Bonus! These are freezer-friendly. Get all the details on that in my Storage Details section.
Here are the General Instructions
Getting started
- Start by preheating the oven to 400°F.
- While the oven preheats. Start prepping the muffins by whisking together the sugars, butter, vanilla, molasses, milk & egg(s) and mix until combined
- Then you’ll sift in flour and baking powder and fold until completely combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill a greased mini muffin tin, I like to use a 1/2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, then bake for about 10-15 minutes.
Once the muffins are out of the oven
- Take them out of the pan immediately
- let them cool on a cooling rack then store them:
- All together in an airtight container
- Groups of 3 (three) in food-safe snack bags for an easy-to-grab snack
Cooking with Kids

So please take these as suggestions or ideas and if you think your child needs more or less help, then go with what you and your child are comfortable with. Ultimately, you know your kids, do what YOU think is best.
