Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (2% or whole)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Cream Butter and Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Then add the plain Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients until smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together just until the batter is combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and tender.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly through the batter to distribute the sweetness in every bite.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
- Cool Muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure muffins stay fluffy and moist.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with nuts, dried fruit, or berries to customize the muffins.
- Make sure butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and better texture.
- Use fresh baking soda to help the muffins rise properly.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
