Chocolate Chip Muffins
Description
Combining dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with wet ingredients such as oil, sugar, egg, vanilla, Greek yogurt, and milk results in a balanced batter. The addition of chocolate chips throughout the batter provides sweet pockets that complement the tender crumb. After portioning into muffin liners, the muffins bake at 375°F for about 22-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center is clean.
The muffins have lightly crisp tops sprinkled with extra chocolate chips and a soft, moist interior. The Greek yogurt adds richness and helps maintain freshness. The recipe’s instructions caution against overmixing to preserve a tender texture.
These muffins serve well as a breakfast option or snack. Their moderate sweetness and melting chocolate chips make them approachable and satisfying.
The batter yields approximately 12 muffins when scooped into 3-tablespoon portions. Liners and a light spray help prevent sticking and ease removal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 240g
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 10g
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda 2g
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt 2g
- ¼ cup oil 50g, unflavored
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
- 1 egg ~50g, large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ½ cup yogurt 140g, plain, Greek
- ½ cup milk 100g
- ½ cup chocolate chips 110g
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a standard-sized muffin tin with muffin liners. Give them a spritz of nonstick baking spray, if desired, and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set these dry ingredients aside.
- Combine the oil and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk until incorporated.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the oil/sugar mixture, and whisk until combined.
- Add the Greek yogurt and milk, stirring until incorporated.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and gently fold them into the wet ingredient until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the chocolate chips to the batter. Fold them in gently until evenly scattered throughout.
- Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop to dollop the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on the tops of the muffins.
- Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for about 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean.
- Once cooked through, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Enjoy warm or cold with a glass of your favorite milk.
Notes
- The batter makes about 12 muffins when using 3 tablespoons of batter each.
- Line muffin tins and spray lightly with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender texture.
