Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Mix-Ins:
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional Boosters:
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• Zest of 1 lemon or orange
• ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
2️⃣ Whisk the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3️⃣ Cream Butter & Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar using a hand or stand mixer until pale and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
4️⃣ Add Eggs, Yogurt, and Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in the yogurt and vanilla until fully incorporated.
5️⃣ Combine Wet & Dry:
Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet using a spatula. Fold gently until just combined—do not overmix.
6️⃣ Add the Chocolate Chips:
Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional zest, cinnamon, or nuts if using.
7️⃣ Scoop & Bake:
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups (they should be about ¾ full). Top with a few extra chocolate chips if desired.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
8️⃣ Cool & Enjoy:
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
