How to Make High Protein Double Chocolate Greek Yogurt Muffins

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl whisk together:

• Greek yogurt
• Honey or maple syrup
• Eggs
• Milk
• Vanilla extract

Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl mix:

• Flour
• Cocoa powder
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt

This ensures the cocoa and leavening agents are evenly distributed.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.

Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins soft.

Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Save a few to sprinkle on top for that bakery-style look.

Step 6: Bake

Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups.

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Step 7: Cool and Enjoy

Let muffins cool for about 10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

The chocolate chips will still be slightly melty—my favorite part!

What to Serve with Double Chocolate Muffins

These muffins pair beautifully with:

• Fresh strawberries

Tips for Making Them Perfect

Use Thick Greek Yogurt

Full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt creates the best texture.

Don’t Overmix

Mixing too much can make muffins dense.

Add Extra Chocolate on Top

Sprinkle a few chips on top before baking for a bakery-style finish.

Measure Cocoa Properly

Lightly spoon cocoa powder into the measuring cup to avoid packing.

Make Them Bakery Tall

Fill muffin cups ¾ full for beautifully domed tops.

Storage Instructions

Room Temperature

Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.

Refrigerator

Refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Freezer

Freeze muffins for up to 3 months.

Reheating

Warm in the microwave for 15 seconds to bring back the soft texture.
