Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (2% or whole)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy. Add the plain Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined, taking care to avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool muffins: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins; mix until just combined.
- Use paper liners for easy removal and clean-up.
- Greek yogurt adds moisture and protein, making the muffins tender and nutritious.
- Chocolate chips can be substituted with berries or nuts for variation.
- If you prefer, substitute unsalted butter with an equal amount of oil for a different texture.
