Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- â…“ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- ½ cup mini or regular chocolate chips
Other
- Nonstick spray or muffin liners
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray it with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the muffins.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for your muffins.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures your leavening agents and salt are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep your muffins tender and moist.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini or regular chocolate chips to add delightful bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among 10 to 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow space for rising without overflow.
- Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully baked.
- Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- These muffins are naturally sweetened and high in protein, making them a nutritious choice for breakfast or snacks.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of regular or mini chips.
- To add texture, sprinkle oats or crushed peanuts on top of the batter before baking.
