Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 2.5 cups plain flour

- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup sugar I find this enough but some people might like to add a little more, say ½ cup sugar
Wet ingredients
- 2 eggs lightly whisked
- ⅔ cup oil I usually use canola oil, or a mixture of canola and olive oil, but any is fine
- 1 cup Greek yogurt I use authentic full fat strained Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk Actually, ¼ to ½ cup.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Other
- 1.5 cups chocolate chips

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 355F/180C and line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Spray lightly with oil.
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a jug or smaller bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined (a few lumps are fine. Don’t overmix). Add a little more milk if necessary (the mixture will be quite thick but it shouldn't be dry).
- Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin cases (you can fill almost to the top) and bake for 17 to 25 minutes. After 17 minutes keep checking every couple of minutes. A skewer pushed into the centre of the muffin should come out without raw batter on it, and the muffins should be nicely golden brown.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before eating so that the muffin cases don’t stick. Reheat for 15 seconds in the microwave after peeling off the muffin case if you’d like to enjoy a muffin warm!

Notes
- Batter consistency: Your batter should be a soft dropping consistency so you can put it into your muffin cases easily. If it seems too thick, just add a tiny bit more milk.
- Baking time: The baking time can vary a bit depending on what brand of yogurt you use and/or how big your muffin cases are.
- Just check every couple of minutes after 17 minutes until your muffins are nicely browned and a skewer pushed into the centre of a muffin comes out fairly clean (there might be a bit of chocolate on the skewer but there shouldn’t be any raw batter).
- I’ve found cooking time to be as little as 17 minutes and as long as 25 minutes depending on the size of my muffins.
- Storing and freezing: These muffins will keep quite well for a few days in an airtight container, but they also freeze well. Simply freeze in Ziploc bags or a plastic/glass container with a lid for up to 3 months. Defrost and then reheat for 15-20 seconds in the microwave or a few minutes in a warm oven.
- Blueberry/Banana versions: You can easily make Greek yogurt blueberry muffins instead with this same recipe! Simply add a tiny bit more sugar to the batter (if you like - say 1/2 cup instead of 1/3 cup) and replace the choc chips with 1.5 cups of blueberries.
- Or make half chocolate, half blueberry muffins! Both are delicious and always turn out well.
- If you have overripe bananas, you may also wish to try these Greek yogurt banana muffins (with caramel chips!) or these dairy free carrot banana muffins (healthy!).
