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:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
-
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).
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
-
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.
-
Add the Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed in the batter.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
