Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain whole fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Mix-Ins
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture until just combined. Avoid over mixing to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Reserve a few chocolate chips for topping. Fold the remaining chocolate chips into the batter carefully.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with parchment paper liners, or grease with cooking spray if not using liners.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- To achieve a light and fluffy texture, do not over mix the batter. Mix just until combined, especially when folding in chocolate chips.
- Measure coconut oil when solid, then melt in the microwave for 15 to 45 seconds until liquid before adding to the batter.
- These muffins freeze well. Cool completely, store in a ziplock bag in the freezer, and reheat in the microwave for 15-30 seconds before eating.
- You can substitute whole wheat pastry flour with all-purpose flour if preferred.
