Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup neutral oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
Add-ins
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a muffin tin with paper liners. This prepares your equipment and ensures muffins don’t stick.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined and fluffy for a light, even crumb.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, neutral oil or melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which helps achieve tender muffins.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few streaks of flour are fine and keep the muffins soft.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top for a bakery-style finish.
- Fill pans and bake: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean with some melty chocolate bits.
- Cool and serve: Let the muffins cool slightly in the pan before enjoying. They’re best served warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
- You can substitute neutral oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Use paper liners for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- These muffins store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
