Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 3/4 cup buttermilk at room temperature
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature (can use sour cream)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil, (can use canola, avocado, or melted coconut oil)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips, plus 3 tablespoons, divided
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), eggs, oil, and vanilla.
- Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a spatula to stir to combine. Do not over mix. You want there to be a few flour streaks left.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips. Again, don’t over mix, the batter will be thick. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and let the batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- While the batter is resting, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 muffin pans with paper liners, leaving a space in between every cup. This will help the muffins rise higher in the oven. Spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling to the top. I like to use a large ice cream scoop. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 3 tablespoons of chocolate chips and turbinado sugar.
- Bake the muffins on the center rack for 7 minutes at 425 degrees, then turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Do not open the oven door. Bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes or until the muffin tops are golden and the tops are set. You can insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin and if it comes out clean, they are done. Don’t over bake.
- Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Remove from the pan and enjoy!
