Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups full fat plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 10 ounces dark chocolate chunks or dark chocolate chips
  • 10 chopped Oreos plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375º Fahrenheit. Grease the muffin tins or line them with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and additional egg yolk with granulated sugar until the mixture turns pale and thick, ensuring a light texture in your muffins.
  4. Add Oil, Yogurt, and Vanilla: Beat in the vegetable oil until fully incorporated. Then add the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract, mixing well until the batter is smooth and combined.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients gently, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter which can make the muffins tough.
  6. Add Oreos and Chocolate: Fold in the chopped Oreos and dark chocolate chunks carefully to evenly distribute these delicious mix-ins throughout the batter.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo pieces on top of each muffin for an extra crunchy topping.
  8. Bake: Place the muffins in the oven and bake at 375º F for 10 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350º F and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Storage: Once cooled, store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their freshness and moist texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream for Greek yogurt if preferred.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep your muffins light and tender.
  • Using dark chocolate chunks creates bigger pockets of melted chocolate compared to chips.
  • Adding extra Oreo pieces on top gives a delightful crunchy contrast.
  • Muffins keep well at room temperature for up to 3 days; for longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
