Mini maple chocolate chip pancake muffins

If you are looking for an extra special breakfast treat for someone special that you love, try mini chocolate chip puffins. So i went into the kitchen and made a batch of mini chocolate chip puffins.


All ingredient we need is all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk, pure maple syrup, egg, butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips.



The muffins batter is thick and studded with chocolate chips. I used semi-sweet chocolate chip, but milk chocolate chips would also work well. The batter was easy to mix together and the muffins only took about 15 minutes to bake. 


I usually don't eat chocolate for breakfast, but i had to taste the puffins to make sure they were good enough for someone special. hehee''''

 

Everyone deserves a great sweet breakfast treat in the morning to start a new day.

  
These mini maple pancake muffins with chocolate chips were too adorable to pass up.  It's the perfect morning breakfast for when you want to make something special without whisking and standing in the kitchen for hours.
