Ingredients

• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Bittersweet chocolate chips
• 120 milliliters Whole milk
• 100 grams Plain Greek yogurt
• 60 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the bittersweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them into the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or over a stovetop and set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
