Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe — Moist & Tangy

These Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins are a tasty snack with extra natural protein from Greek yogurt. Sweetened with maple syrup and made with whole grain flour, they’re perfect for a portable breakfast or an afternoon treat.

I love these muffins because the Greek yogurt boosts the protein without sacrificing flavor.

I make this recipe regularly—it’s simple, reliable, and one of my favorites.

Including protein with a carb-rich snack helps me keep blood sugar steadier, and these muffins deliver that balance in a delicious way.

The batter comes together in one bowl, making this an easy recipe to prepare. They’re also great to pack in a lunchbox or enjoy as a quick snack.

Muffin ingredients

• Greek yogurt – Full-fat or 2% work well; non-fat may also be fine.
• Melted butter – You can substitute grapeseed or olive oil (olive oil gives a noticeable flavor).
• Maple syrup
• Egg
• Vanilla extract
• Whole grain flour – Whole wheat, spelt, or barley flour all work; I like barley flour.
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Sea salt
• Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

How to make Greek yogurt chocolate chip muffins

This recipe is quick and requires just one bowl.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, melted butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Sprinkle the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt over the wet ingredients, then add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.

4. Stir gently until the dry ingredients are just moistened—don’t overmix.

5. Divide the batter evenly among eight paper-lined muffin cups and sprinkle extra chocolate on top if you like.

6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are springy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
