Yogurt and Chocolate Chip Muffins

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

Ingredients

• 250 g of flour
• 125 g of natural yogurt (both full-fat and low-fat are fine)
• 100 g of sugar
• 80 ml of seed oil (or light olive oil if you prefer an Italian twist)
• 2 eggs
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 100 g of chocolate chips
• Vanilla (a sachet of vanillin or vanilla extract to taste)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (static) or 160°C (convection).
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the yogurt and oil, continue stirring.
4. Incorporate the sifted flour with the baking powder, the pinch of salt, and the vanilla, mix until you have a smooth batter.
5. Finally, add the chocolate chips and gently fold them into the batter.
6. Prepare a muffin tin with paper liners, and pour the batter into the liners, filling each up to 3/4.
7. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the muffins are golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
8. Let cool before serving.

Curiosities

Chocolate chip muffins are a sweet variant of the classic Anglo-Saxon muffins. They have won over the public with their simplicity and deliciousness. The chocolate chips, when they melt during baking, create delicious pockets of chocolate that make these treats irresistible. A trick is to mix the chocolate chips with a bit of flour before adding them to the batter: this prevents them from all settling at the bottom during baking.
