Chocolate Chip Vanilla Gems Recipe

Indulge in these bite-sized vanilla bean gems! Perfect with a morning coffee or an afternoon glass of milk, these muffins are intensely flavorful thanks to their mini size. Enjoy them classic (without chocolate chips for a pure vanilla experience), or load them up with chocolate chips – the kids will love them! The same delicious vanilla batter also makes a fantastic base for larger berry muffins (recipe variations coming soon!).

How to Make Chocolate Chip Vanilla Gems

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips (if using).
  7. Fill the mini muffin cups about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
