Mini Choc Chip Muffins!

These muffins were a treat, they are delicious but easy to make and to have especially when you have small kids around or when your just plain hungry!

As many of you may already know that my Mother Sarah and I are selling our house. so just as a special treat I have made mini muffins to have while people are looking at the house on the open inspection days. these muffins are great because if you don't want them to be small you can still do them regular size and can get about 15 muffins but if you do them miniature size you get about 32 or 34.

While shopping for ingredients i came across these adorable little patty pans, now i thought they were just your average patty pans but boy was i wrong! they are re usable, they come in a pack of 12 and were made the brand bend'n'bake. They are the people who made cupcake trays bendable and they have thought of reusable patty pans. Thank you bend'n'bake!!
