Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, skim milk, brewed coffee, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving a few tablespoons for topping the muffins if desired.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top of the muffins for extra chocolatey goodness.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
