Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Milk (low-fat or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, Greek yogurt, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should just come together.
Stir in the milk slowly until the batter reaches a smooth but thick consistency.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle a few reserved chocolate chips on top of each muffin for an extra touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your light and fluffy chocolate chip muffins warm or at room temperature!
