These Chocolate Chip Yogurt Muffins are the embodiment of home-baked comfort: tender crumb, a hint of tang from yogurt, and pockets of melting chocolate in every bite. Unlike dense or overly sweet muffins, these maintain a light texture thanks to the neutral oil and dairy trio of yogurt, milk, and egg, which also extend freshness. With a simple whisk-and-fold method—no electric mixer required—they’re perfect for novice bakers, busy parents, or anyone craving a quick breakfast, afternoon pick-me-up, or an easy dessert. Customizable with your favorite mix-ins and adaptable to dietary needs, they’ll soon become your go-to muffin recipe.
