Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour + 2 tablespoons
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
  • ½ cup honey or pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ¼ cup canola oil (or melted, cooled coconut oil / light olive oil / melted unsalted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon. Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, honey or maple syrup, almond milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly into muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Top with extra chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins soft and tender.
  • Replace oil with unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana for lower fat.
  • Add espresso powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Use dairy-free yogurt and plant milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Freeze cooled muffins individually for quick grab-and-go snacks.
