Equipment

Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs
½ cup butter melted
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup Greek yogurt or vanilla yoghurt
¼ cup milk or plant based milk
¼ cup strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips dark or milk

Instructions

Preheat conventional oven to 390℉ /200℃ (350℉/180℃ fan forced).
In a large bowl add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a separate bowl add eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, yogurt, milk, coffee and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently to combine. Don't overmix!
Add chocolate chips to the mixture and stir gently until just combined.
Place muffin cases into a muffin or cupcake tray and scoop batter into the cases. Fill to ¾ way full for 15 high top bakery style muffins, or a little less for 18 small muffins.
Place in oven for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Tops should be firm but slightly springy to the touch.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

The key to light and fluffy muffins is to mix with a light hand and until just mixed.
Vanilla yoghurt can be used in place of Greek yoghurt for a sweeter muffin.
If you like high top muffins, fill each muffin liner to 3/4 full. You will likely have 12 - 15 large muffins. For smaller muffins, fill just a little less - you should get 18 small muffins from the mix, although it will depend on the size of your tray.
Coffee must be brewed strong. Stovetop, espresso or cold brew concentrate all work well but you can also use french press or drip coffee too.
