Ingredients

1 cup plain whole fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup coconut oil melted
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup real maple syrup
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or all purpose flour
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: Greek yogurt, maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, and melted coconut oil.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix it all together with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over mix the batter.
Reserve a few spoonfuls of chocolate chips to top the muffins, and fold the rest into the batter.
Line a muffin tin with parchment paper muffin liners, or use cooking spray for regular liners or no liners.
Divide the muffin batter into the 12 cups, then top with the reserved chocolate chips.
Bake the chocolate chip muffins at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean

Notes

Tips for light and fluffy texture

Be sure not to over mix the batter, as this will result in too dense muffins. The key is to mix until just combined, the same goes when you add in the chocolate chips.

How do I measure the coconut oil?

Measure the coconut oil while solid, then melt in the microwave for 15 - 45 seconds until it turns to liquid.

Can I freeze these muffins?

Yes! Simply allow the muffins to cool, then store in a ziploc bag in your freezer. Once you are ready to eat one, microwave it for 15-30 seconds, or until heated through.

Can I use a different flour?

Yes! You can substitute whole wheat pastry flour for all-purpose flour.
