🍫 Ingredients You’ll Need To Make These Chocolate Muffins

Olive oil: adds moisture and keeps the muffins soft without weighing them down. Oil also helps create a more tender crumb than butter. You can also use canola or vegetable oil.
Granulated sugar: sweetens the batter and helps create that perfectly domed top with a light crust.
Greek yogurt: adds richness and a slight tang, while also making the muffins incredibly moist.
Eggs: bind the batter and give these chocolate muffins structure. Add them one at a time for best results.

Milk: loosens the batter just enough for a smooth mix and tender crumb.
Vanilla extract: enhances the chocolate flavour and adds warmth and depth overall.
All-purpose flour: provides structure and balance to the batter.
Cocoa powder: gives these double chocolate chip muffins their deep, fudgy base.
Baking soda: reacts with the ingredients to help the muffins rise evenly.
Baking powder: gives an extra lift this chocolate muffins recipe.
Salt: balances out the sweetness and intensifies the chocolate flavour.
Chocolate chips: folded into the batter and sprinkled on top, these melt into gooey pockets and give you that classic double chocolate chip muffin.

✔ How To Make These Chocolate Muffins

To make these double chocolate chip muffins, preheat your oven to 350F and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large mixing bow, whisk together the oil and sugar until smooth. Add in the Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla, and whisk again until well combined. Now add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.

In a separate medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until everything comes together.

Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for the tops. Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin liner, filling them almost to the top. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 23-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out cloean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.

🗒 Variations

Chocolate overload? Mix in white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or a blend.
Want some crunch? Chopped walnuts or pecans work great here.

🗒 Substitutions

Milk: While I haven’t tried this recipe with other milk varieties, I imagine any milk will do; dairy or plant-based like oat, almond, or soy.
Yogurt: Swap in a thick plant-based yogurt.
