They taste like copycat Entenmann&rsquo;s Little Bites Muffins, especially when you leave them cooled in the muffin tin and covered with plastic wrap on the counter. Moist, delicious, and better because they are homemade!<\/p>\n<p>Little Bites contain 20+ ingredients, many of which are chemical names and preservatives.

Seal them in freezer bags or airtight container. Store them in the back of the freezer away from the door to avoid fluctuating temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>You can make muffins in advance, and store them in individual servings (3 &ndash; 4 to a bag) in the freezer. Then you can take them out as you want to use them. You can take a bag out in the morning, and send it in your child&rsquo;s lunch for school.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips\"><\/span>Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Save time and be sure your mini muffins turn out perfectly every time by using these tips:<\/p>\n<h4><em>Follow the recipe directions:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Keep wet ingredients with wet ingredients and dry with dry. Do not use one bowl to combine them. Baking is science.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Preheat the oven:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Always preheat your oven before starting. This ensures your muffins start baking as soon as they go in, which is crucial for a good rise.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Choose the right pan:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Use a mini muffin pan for best results. The smaller cavities ensure the correct size and help the muffins bake evenly. If you use a full-size muffin tin, double the baking time and check for doneness.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Gradually combine liquid and dry ingredients: <\/em><\/h4>\n<p>When you&rsquo;re ready to combine your liquid and dry mixtures, do so gradually. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients in batches, stirring gently after each addition. This method helps prevent overmixing and results in a smoother batter. Do not overmix!<\/p>\n<h4><em>Don&rsquo;t beat, fold: <\/em><\/h4>\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to fold the wet ingredients into the dry rather than vigorously stirring or beating them. This helps to keep air in the mixture, which results in lighter, fluffier muffins. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixtures together until just combined.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Bake immediately: <\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Once the wet and dry ingredients are combined, bake the batter immediately. This muffin recipe uses baking powder, which starts acting as soon as it gets wet. Waiting to bake can result in less rise and denser muffins.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Use a scoop:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Use a small ice cream scoop or a cookie scoop to fill your muffin tins. This ensures they will all be filled approximately the same. This is better so they all bake the same.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><em>Fill the muffin cups two-thirds of the way:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>This leaves room for the muffins to rise. It also helps prevent the batter from spilling over the sides.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Test for doneness:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Use a toothpick to check if your muffins are done. Insert it into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they&rsquo;re ready. If they aren&rsquo;t ready, when you put them back in the oven, rotate the pan to help all the muffins bake evenly.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Cool before removing:<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them. They&rsquo;re easier to remove and less likely to break apart if you let them cool a bit first.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Double up:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>If you frequently bake, consider purchasing a second mini muffin tin. This allows you to prepare the next batch while the first one is baking, saving time. If you buy two of the same type, the may nest together, making them easy to store.<\/p>\n<h4><em>Batch and freeze:<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Mini chocolate chip muffins freeze well, so consider making a double batch and freezing half. You&rsquo;ll always have a quick snack or breakfast option on hand.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Notes\"><\/span>Notes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">If You Don&rsquo;t Have Muffin Liners<\/h3>\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t have muffin tin liners, you can use a mini muffin tin without them. Be sure it&rsquo;s non-stick. Coat the bottoms and sides of the cavities with real butter or tasteless oil (avocado oil, vegetable oil). Coat them well even when using a non-stick pan.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">For Gluten Free Mini Muffins<\/h3>\n<p>Make gluten free chocolate chip muffins by using one-to-one gluten free flour. I&rsquo;ve used Bob&rsquo;s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour as well as King Arthur Baking Company Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour.<\/p>\n<p>They both are wonderful GF flours to bake with. Simply substitute 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 cups of either of these flours.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">To Make these Full-Size Muffins Instead of Mini<\/h3>\n<p>Keep the temperature to 350&ordm;F, and fill the regular-size muffin tins &frac34; of the way (the same as making mini muffins). Bake for 28 &ndash; 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a fork or toothpick. Allow to cool on cooling rack before removing from the pan.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Copycat Entenmann&rsquo;s Little Bites<\/h2>\n<p>Here are three reasons why these copycat Little Bites chocolate chip muffins are better to make at home than buy. This recipe:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Uses real ingredients you can pronounce<\/li>\n<li>Uses less ingredients&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Doesn&rsquo;t contain chemicals<\/li>\n<li>Doesn&rsquo;t contain palm oil&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Is less expensive to make at home versus buying premade Little Bites muffins<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Can I substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour when making mini chocolate chip muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>It&rsquo;s best to use all-purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour. Using whole wheat flour will change the texture. The muffins will be a bit denser and slightly less sweet. An option is to use half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat to see how you like them. On a personal note, I think whole wheat flours work better with spice-infused and fruit-filled muffins more than with chocolate chip muffins.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I freeze mini chocolate chip muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, mini chocolate chip muffins freeze well. Before putting them in the freezer, make sure they are completely cooled. Place them in a zip-top bag and freeze. They&rsquo;ll keep for up to three months. To defrost, leave them at room temperature for a few hours.<\/p>\n<h3>My muffins didn&rsquo;t rise properly, what could have gone wrong?<\/h3>\n<p>There are several reasons muffins may not rise.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your baking powder might be old and ineffective.<\/li>\n<li>If you overmixed the batter which can result in denser, less airy muffins. Be sure to only mix until just combined.<\/li>\n<li>It&rsquo;s important to mix the dry ingredients with the dry ingredients and the wet with the wet. Then, add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. It&rsquo;s a science!<\/li>\n<li>If you made the batter in advance, the muffins may not rise well. Baking powder starts working after it&rsquo;s mixed with liquids. Next time, plan to bake the muffins right after you finish making the batter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>What other add-ins can I add to mini chocolate chip muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>Customize your muffins by adding nuts, dried fruit, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. You can add a bit of mashed banana as well. Chocolate chips and walnuts are delicious as are dried cranberries or dried cherries. Use whatever you have. But be mindful of keeping the pieces smaller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use regular-sized chocolate chips instead of mini ones?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can use regular size chocolate chips instead of mini chocolate chips. I think mini chips distribute better in mini muffins but I use both full size and mini chips.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I need to use paper liners for the muffin tin when making mini muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>No, you don&rsquo;t necessarily need paper liners. You can also grease a non-stick muffin tin with butter, cooking spray, or use a pastry brush or small bit of paper towel dipped in vegetable oil or other tasteless oil. I like using liners because it makes the muffins easy to remove from the pan and makes cleaning up easy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Why are my muffins dry and crumbly?<\/h3>\n<p>Overbaking is often the cause of dry and crumbly muffins. Make sure to check your muffins a few minutes before the suggested baking time to prevent overbaking. Also, be sure not to overmix the batter as it can lead to a tougher texture. So they turn out fluffy and soft, also be sure to add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, not vice versa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use this recipe for a regular-sized muffin tin?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can use this recipe for regular-sized muffins. However, keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll need to adjust the baking time since larger muffins will take longer to bake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is the best way to store these mini muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>Store your mini chocolate chip muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make the muffin batter ahead of time and bake it later?<\/h3>\n<p>It&rsquo;s generally recommended to bake muffin batter right after mixing as it contains baking powder, which starts working as soon as it gets wet. If the batter sits for too long before baking, the muffins might not rise as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips. Using only dark chocolate will give the muffins a less sweet, more intense chocolate flavor. You can also do a combination of them both.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it easy to make a recipe for mini chocolate chip muffins?<\/h3>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll find this recipe for mini chocolate chip muffins is easy to make.&nbsp;Gather your ingredients and all the tools and equipment you need. Be sure you leave yourself enough time so you aren&rsquo;t rushed. Then follow each of the steps in order listed above, adding the ingredients in order.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Sweetness\"><\/span>Simple Sweetness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I love making mini chocolate chip muffins on weekends. Then we enjoy them and eat the rest during the school and work week. These bite-sized wonders are perfect for breakfast (muffins seem healthier than cupcakes!), snacking, a kid-friendly treat, or serving at brunches and parties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are fast and easy to make. Because they are mini, they take half the time to bake as full-sized muffins. If you have two mini muffin tins, you can fill the second while the first is baking to save time.<\/p>\n<p>Baking gets easier to do the more often you do it.
