Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins

These Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins are more than just a treat; they’re a wholesome option that satisfies your cravings without the guilt.

The Magic of Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is the star of this recipe, bringing a creamy texture and a boost of protein to these muffins. It not only helps to keep the muffins moist but also adds a delightful tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the chocolate chips. Using full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt allows you to customize the richness of the muffins to your preference.

What bananas can do?

Bananas are high in moisture, which helps keep baked goods soft and moist, similar to the effect of fats like butter or oil.

Naturally Sweetened with Maple Syrup

Unlike traditional muffin recipes that rely heavily on refined sugar, this recipe uses maple syrup as a natural sweetener. Maple syrup not only adds a subtle sweetness but also infuses the muffins with a warm, rich flavor. Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants and essential minerals, making it a healthier choice.

Versatile and Nutritious Add-ins

This recipe offers plenty of flexibility with add-ins. You can swap the mashed banana for applesauce or your favorite nut or seed butter, depending on what you have on hand. Ground flax seeds not only add a nutty flavor but also contribute a good dose of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making these muffins even more nutritious.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
