Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240g) plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup (80mL) milk
- 1/2 cup (120mL) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Additional
- 1 cup (6oz / 170g) chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, plain yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the dry ingredient mixture over the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix to ensure tender muffins.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill the muffin cups: Portion the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each all the way to the top for a dramatic muffin top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean of batter or crumbs (chocolate may remain on the skewer).
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or to just slightly warm before serving.
Notes
- Do not over mix the batter once the flour is added to prevent tough muffins.
- For deeper chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder or a mix of chocolate chips.
- Vegetable oil can be substituted with melted coconut oil for a different flavor.
- Check muffins at 15 minutes to avoid over baking; ovens vary.
- Allow muffins to cool slightly before eating for better texture and flavor.
