Description

Delicious and moist muffins made with creamy Greek yogurt, enhanced with chocolate chips for a delightful treat. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these muffins are easy to prepare and bake quickly to golden perfection.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill muffin cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
