Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips)
• 1/4 cup milk (optional, for extra moisture)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to loosen it slightly.

5. Add the Chocolate Chips:

   • Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed in the batter.

6. Fill the Muffin Tin:

   • Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin for a little extra indulgence.

7. Bake the Muffins:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. The tops should be golden brown.

8. Cool and Serve:

   • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions:

• Enjoy these muffins for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert!
• Serve with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk for an extra treat.

Enjoy your Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins! They are soft, moist, and full of chocolatey goodness, with a hint of tanginess from the yogurt. Perfect for any time of the day!
