My family loves these mini muffins because they are tender and packed with just the right amount of chocolate chips. I keep them simple by using Greek yogurt for extra moisture, which makes them stay fresh for a couple of days in the pantry.

Since these are mini, they bake up very quickly. I recommend using a mini muffin tin and paper liners so that clean up is a breeze after you finish baking.

🧺 Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3
In a separate medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, sugar, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
6
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three quarters of the way full.
7
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.

💡 Tips

Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze them for up to two months and pop one into a lunchbox in the morning to thaw by snack time.
