Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (280 g)
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¾ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup white sugar (150 g)
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 cup plain yogurt, full fat preferred (250 g)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Add-ins

  • 1 and ½ cups chocolate chips (265 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined and uniform in color.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, yogurt, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, stirring gently until most of the flour is absorbed but still slightly lumpy to avoid overmixing.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly to distribute throughout the batter without overmixing.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top for well-sized muffins.
  7. Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops have turned golden brown.
  8. Cool: Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then run a thin knife around each muffin to loosen them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and avoid toughness.
  • If you prefer, use dark or semisweet chocolate chips according to your taste.
  • You can substitute full fat yogurt with Greek yogurt for extra protein and creaminess.
  • Butter can be replaced with an equal amount of vegetable oil for a different texture.
  • Store cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
