Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 0.75 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 units large eggs
• 0.75 cups dried apricots, chopped
• 0.5 cups chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped dried apricots and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs (melty chocolate is fine).

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
