Why should I try these muffins?

Since I prefer for my kids to eat whole grains, I like changing up regular recipes (like this one from Taste of Home) to include wheat flour and flax seed to add fiber.

These little muffins have the right touch of sweetness and a little chocolate that makes for a great dessert in school lunchboxes. We really like the wheat-y flavor of these and our Whole Wheat Pancakes recipe.

If you’re new to baking with wheat flour, there is a tiny bit of a learning curve. Read about how to bake whole wheat muffins.

Are these mini chocolate chip muffins budget friendly?

Over the summer, I like to have all the kids do more cooking and baking than we can squeeze in during the school year. Snacks like these Chocolate Chip Wheat Mini Muffins are a frugal and easy way to fill everyone up.

Can kids make these muffins?

This recipe is a great beginner recipe for kids learning to cook or bake. Start your kids off with measuring the ingredients and mixing, and as they get older, they can graduate to using the oven.

It’s a great recipe that is pretty forgiving and easy to make. If there’s a small error they will still likely come out tasting okay!

How should I bake these chocolate chip wheat mini muffins?

I bought mini muffin pans many years ago, and they’ve held up so well with all my baking. I just spray them with cooking spray instead of using paper liners.

The kids and I love using a cookie scoop to fill muffin cups (it’s also great for pancakes and of course, cookies!).

Do these muffins cool in the pans or should we remove them?

These muffins will pop right out so they can cool on stackable baking racks, which I love because they don’t take up much storage space in my tiny kitchen.

Can I freeze these muffins for later use?

Absolutely! We do that a lot during the cooler months so that I don’t have to do much baking when it’s super hot during the summer.

It’s also a nice way to stockpile some easy treats for when those hectic days roll around and there doesn’t seem to be as much time for baking up healthy snacks and breakfast options.
