I’m so smitten with these Mini Chocolate Chip Doughnut Muffins. These easy-to-make muffins get a big flavor boost from a roll in cinnamon-sugar and a nice dose of chocolate. The flavor is fantastic, and the texture is lovely, too.

The presence of sour cream in the batter means you can expect soft muffins with a lovely crumb. The soft texture is a nice contrast with the crunch of the cinnamon-sugar that coats them.
When it’s time to portion the muffin batter, a cookie scoop is your best friend. You’ll need about a tablespoon of batter per muffin cup, and a #50 scoop will work well. Once you’ve scooped the batter into the cups, there’s no need to spread the batter in the cup. Just leave it as is, and you’ll get beautifully shaped muffins!

When you’re ready to add the cinnamon-sugar, be sure you’ve got everything set up for this sweet assembly line. I like to line up everything in the order it will be used.

Because these are little muffins, be sure to use mini chocolate chips for the best results. Those small chocolate chips are just the right size to distribute nicely in the batter without being too heavy. If you don’t have any mini chocolate chips, you can try chopping chocolate to get pieces of a similar size

If you’re looking for a simpler treat that focuses on cinnamon flavor, you can leave out the chocolate chips. Just keep in mind that you’ll have a little less total batter without the volume added from the chocolate chips.
