Cooking is an art. And baking chocolate muffins is perfect weekend activity with the kids.

Today we invite you to cook these bite-sized mini chocolate chip muffins, the perfect snack for little hands. Simple to mix up with easy ingredients!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup sour cream

½ cup milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Grease 12 muffin cups or line paper baking mini cups.

Step 2

Stir together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate large bowl, and make a well in the center; set aside.

Step 3

Whisk together the sour cream, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and almond extract in a bowl until evenly blended. Pour the sour cream mixture into the well, stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 4

Spoon into the preparation muffin cups, filling half full. Bake until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, about 20 to 25 min. Cool in pan or wire rack 5 min. Remove from the pan and cool completely on wire rack.

Serve with ice-cream or hot chocolate.

Bon Appetit!

*Cooking tip:

Use a wooden spoon to gently stir ingredients until just combined. Don't worry if there are a few lumps, these will dissolve during baking. Over-mixing the batter will result in a tough muffin instead of a lighter texture.
