Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 270g self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour with 10g of baking powder)
- 125ml vanilla yogurt (or natural yogurt, cream cheese, or heavy cream)
- 200g granulated sugar
- 100ml oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200g chocolate chips
Method:
- Mix the wet ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla yogurt, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended and smooth. - Add the dry ingredients:
Sift the self-rising flour (or flour with baking powder) into the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense. - Incorporate the chocolate chips:
If you’re using regular flour, lightly coat the chocolate chips with a bit of flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter. - Prepare for baking:
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the tin. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. - Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and enjoy:
Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature for a deliciously soft and fluffy treat!
Enjoy these soft, vanilla-flavored muffins packed with sweet chocolate chips—perfect for any time of day!
