By now, you’ve probably figured out that I love muffins and pancakes.
I’ve already written a beautiful, fluffy banana pancake recipe here. And I also have a dark chocolate banana bread recipe here.
My greek yogurt pumpkin muffin recipe became viral during the fall, so I thought I’d make one with blueberries.

I just made this greek yogurt blueberry muffins that my partner loved so much!
These chocolate chip Greek yogurt muffins started as my small way of making my brekkies easy
I make a batch once or twice a week, and we grab one while getting ready, sometimes still standing in the kitchen.
They’re soft, chocolatey, not overly sweet, and honestly just comforting. We both love chocolate (probably more than we admit), so having a muffin that feels a little indulgent but still balanced makes busy days feel more manageable.
I’ve added variations and substitutes at the bottom.

Tips to Make Them Even Better (with affiliate links)
Using thick, full-fat Greek yogurt makes a huge difference in texture and flavor.
For richer chocolate flavor, try using dark chocolate chips or chunks. A good-quality option like dark chocolate chips melts beautifully inside the muffins.
If you want taller muffin tops, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before baking. This small step really helps when you want that bakery look.

minutesIngredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup Greek yogurt
¼ cup neutral oil or melted butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk
Directions
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lining a muffin tin with paper liners. This is usually the moment I also put on the kettle, because muffins and coffee just belong together.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until everything looks evenly mixed and fluffy. This helps the muffins bake evenly and keeps the crumb light.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, oil or melted butter, eggs, milk and vanilla until smooth and creamy. The yogurt gives these muffins that soft, tender texture we love, especially the next morning straight from the counter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together until just combined. Try not to overmix here; a few streaks of flour are totally fine and actually make the muffins softer.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, saving a small handful to sprinkle on top if you want them to look extra bakery-style. I always add a few more because, honestly, chocolate mornings are better mornings.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups and bake for 18–20 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few melty chocolate bits clinging to it. Let them cool slightly before eating, though we rarely wait very long.
- Add more milk if the batter is too thick
Substitutions and Add-Ins:
You can swap half the flour for whole wheat flour if you want a heartier muffin, though they’ll be slightly denser.
Honey or maple syrup can replace sugar, but reduce the yogurt slightly to balance moisture.
Add chopped walnuts or almonds for crunch if you like texture with your chocolate.
For egg-free muffins, use a flax egg and add a tablespoon of extra yogurt to keep them moist.
