Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your nut-free chocolate muffins with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.
