Yogurt and Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yogurt and chocolate chip muffins are a great idea for an indulgent breakfast or a snack. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

• 250 g flour
• 125 g plain yogurt (whole or low-fat both work)
• 100 g sugar
• 80 ml vegetable oil (or light olive oil if you prefer an Italian twist)
• 2 eggs
• 1 packet baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 100 g chocolate chips
• Vanilla (1 packet vanilla powder or vanilla extract to taste)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (static) or 160 °C (fan).
2. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is pale and frothy.
3. Add the yogurt and oil and continue mixing.
4. Fold in the sifted flour with the baking powder, the pinch of salt and the vanilla, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
5. Finally, add the chocolate chips and gently combine.
6. Line a muffin tin with paper cases and fill each one up to 3/4 full.
7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Let cool before serving.

Fun Fact

Chocolate chip muffins are a sweet twist on classic English muffins. They have won people over with their simplicity and deliciousness. The chocolate chips melt during baking, creating delightful pockets of chocolate that make these treats irresistible. A tip is to toss the chocolate chips with a little flour before adding them to the batter: this prevents them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
