Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup mini or regular chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Soak Oats: Stir in the old-fashioned oats and allow them to soak for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps soften the oats and keeps the muffins moist.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute throughout the batter.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • These muffins make an excellent breakfast or snack option and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • You can freeze the muffins for up to 2 months to enjoy later.
  • For added texture and visual appeal, sprinkle a few extra oats or chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
