Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a mini muffin pan and fill each cup about 3/4 full. Optionally, top with extra chocolate chips. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let muffins cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Dairy-Free: Use plant-based yogurt and butter alternatives.
- Gluten-Free: Replace flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Sweetener Substitutes: Use agave nectar or honey in place of maple syrup.
- Flavor Options: Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or chopped nuts for variety.
