chocolate chip olive oil mini muffins


this was my first time making mini muffins, and this recipe will definitely be used again, but in different variations. i really liked the cake part. it was sweet but not too sweet and because i know the secret ingredient, i could taste the olive oil slightly and that gave it a nice flavor. this recipe gave me exactly enough batter to make 24 mini muffins, which ryan and i ate all of them in only a couple of days.

4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup flour
1/4 cup chocolate chips, if desired

1. Beat together the eggs and sugar with an electric beater until thin and pale. Add the olive oil, baking powder and salt and beat again until combined. If desired, add chocolate chips. 2. Fold in the flour and pour into a mini-muffin pan (or cake/loaf pan) sprayed with nonstick spray.3. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown (40 minutes for cake/load pan.)
