Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt for extra sweetness)
- 1/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Add-ins:
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C) (or 350°F (180°C) for fan-forced ovens).
- Line a muffin tray with muffin cases.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, yogurt, milk, coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Combine and Add Chocolate Chips
- Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix!
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 5: Fill Muffin Cups and Bake
- Scoop batter into muffin liners, filling them ¾ full for bakery-style muffins or slightly less for smaller muffins.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- For high-top muffins, fill each muffin liner ¾ full to get 12-15 bakery-style muffins.
- For smaller muffins, fill each liner slightly less and make up to 18 muffins.
- Use strong brewed coffee (espresso, cold brew concentrate, stovetop, or French press) for the best flavor.
- For a sweeter muffin, substitute Greek yogurt with vanilla yogurt.
