Instructions How to Make Chocolate Chip Yogurt Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 425°F, spray muffin pan with non-stick spray or use cupcake liners or muffin liners and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk and vanilla and then add the wet ingredients into with the dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Add chocolate chips and gently fold together incorporating the chips throughout.
4. Divide the batter into the 12 muffin cups and bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375°F and bake for another 13-15 minutes. Check tops aren’t wet on top for doneness. Insert a  toothpick into the center of a muffin before removing it from the oven. If it comes out clean or with a little moisture of crumbs, the muffins are done. 
5. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes and enjoy warm.
6. Make sure you seal the muffins to keep fresh once they’ve cooled. 

How to Store Muffins

• Store baked and cooled muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. 

How to Freeze Muffins

Before you stash away your freshly baked goodies, make sure to follow these expert tips for ultimate muffin preservation.

• Let the muffins cool fully to avoid releasing excess steam that can lead to sogginess and unwanted ice on the muffins.  Place muffins in your freezer bag and remove as much air as possible from the bag and place in the freezer for up to 2 months.  Take out as many as you want and thaw overnight in an airtight container. Place in the microwave for 15 seconds to warm up and bite into these yummy mini chocolate chip muffin treats!

Muffin Variations & Ideas

• This is an excellent base of muffin batter for whatever you want to put in your muffins for different flavor and textures! 
• When baking these muffins, they will puff up really high, because we fired up the oven high for the first 5 minutes on 425 degrees.  That gives them a boost with lovely golden brown tones shining through.   
• Don’t be shy, you can use also use fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries or strawberries, if you don’t want the chocolate chip explosions.  Add some nuts for some crunch.  Whatever your little heart desires, is your destiny when you choose what goes into your muffins!  Get creative.

This awesome chocolate chip Greek yogurt muffin recipe is absolutely perfect with your morning coffee or for snacking in the afternoon with your afternoon coffee. Hehe…getting coffee in there one way or another!  For now, Let’s chocolate chip!!
