Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1–2 tablespoons granulated sugar or turbinado sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 24-cup mini muffin tin with liners or grease and flour each cup.
- Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Add Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Gently fold until flour streaks disappear, being careful not to overmix.
- Add mini chocolate chips and fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Optional: Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes for a more tender crumb.
- Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds to three-quarters full with batter. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on top if desired.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to create domed tops.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) without opening the door and bake for another 7 to 10 minutes.
- Check for doneness: muffins should be golden brown and springy. A toothpick should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
Notes
- For best texture, do not overmix the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- Thaw frozen muffins at room temperature or warm in the microwave.
