Stuff You Need

  • Vegetable oil spray
  • 3 cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • 1½ cups plain yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Prep and Preheat

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375°F. Coat a 12‑cup muffin tin with vegetable oil spray.

Whisk Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all‑purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 Tbsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp kosher salt.

Whisk Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk 1½ cups plain yogurt with 2 large lightly beaten eggs, 8 Tbsp melted and cooled unsalted butter, 1 Tbsp neutral oil, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine and Fold

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips without overmixing.

Portion the Muffins

Use a ⅓‑cup scoop to divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Bake

Bake on the middle rack until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20–25 minutes.

Cool and Serve

Let the muffins rest in the tin for 15 minutes. Using your fingertips, gently loosen each muffin and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
