Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar/lemon juice as substitute)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or neutral oil like vegetable or canola)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries
  • Optional for serving: maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your mini muffin tin well with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. If using, gently fold in mini chocolate chips or blueberries (toss fruit in a little flour first to prevent sinking).
  6. Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full with batter using a spoon or cookie scoop.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Tops should spring back lightly when pressed.
  8. Let the bites rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. To freeze, arrange cooled bites in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid (about 1 hour). Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment if stacking.
  10. To reheat, warm frozen bites in a toaster oven or microwave for 30–45 seconds until heated through.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy to keep the bites fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and melted butter for better rise. Grease the pan well to prevent sticking. Freeze in a single layer before storing to avoid sticking. Reheat gently to preserve texture.
