Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Additional
- Peanut Butter – 1/2 Tablespoon per muffin
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and line a standard muffin pan with paper liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the 2% milk, plain Greek yogurt, and a large egg until smooth and combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the sugar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the lined muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Then, add 1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter in the center of each muffin’s batter, gently pressing it in.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to enjoy the full flavor and texture.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for tender muffins.
- Use paper liners for easy removal and cleanup.
- Check muffins at 12 minutes to avoid overbaking which can dry them out.
- Peanut butter adds richness and pairs perfectly with chocolate.
