Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt just until combined—avoid overmixing to keep muffins tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter to evenly distribute them.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full for perfect rising.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor.
- For extra texture, add chopped peanuts or sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top before baking.
- These muffins freeze well, making them excellent for meal prepping or grab-and-go breakfasts and snacks.
