Ingredients:

  • 260g all-purpose flour
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 120g plain Greek yogurt
  • 115g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 80ml whole milk
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 180g semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coarse sparkling sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Line a 12 cup muffin tin. Use paper liners or grease the cups thoroughly with butter.
  3. Whisk the dry ingredients. Combine the 260g flour, 150g sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt until no lumps remain.
  4. Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the 120g yogurt, 115g melted butter, 80ml milk, 2 eggs, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and pale.
  5. Combine the mixtures. Pour the wet into the dry. Use a spatula and stop as soon as you see no more white streaks.
  6. Fold in the jewels. Gently stir in the 180g chocolate chips until evenly distributed through the thick batter.
  7. Portion the batter. Fill each muffin cup nearly to the top for those big, beautiful domes.
  8. Add the crunch. Sprinkle the 2 tbsp coarse sugar over the tops until they look like they came from a cafe.
  9. Bake the muffins. Slide them into the oven for 20 minutes until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool and set. Let them sit in the tin for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
