Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional:
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips for topping

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold dry ingredients into the wet mix gently—don’t overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips until just combined.
- Divide batter into muffin cups, filling each almost full. Top with mini chips if desired.

- Let the muffins rest in the pan for about 5 minutes, then gently move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy warm!
Notes
Be sure to let the melted butter cool before mixing to avoid scrambling the eggs.
