Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup maple syrup

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a mixing bowl to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Then whisk in the eggs thoroughly until fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and gently fold together using a rubber spatula. Stir until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make muffins tough.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
  5. Prepare Muffin Pan: Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and evenly distribute the batter into each muffin cup, filling nearly full. Optionally, sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top for a decorative touch.
  6. Bake: Place the mini muffin pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 12-14 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin—if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
  7. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess and retains their tender texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is slightly cooled to avoid cooking the eggs when combined.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Using mini chocolate chips helps distribute chocolate evenly through the mini-sized muffins.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, use plant-based yogurt and butter substitutes.
