Ingredients to make Chocolate Muffins with Greek Yogurt:
- 450 grams of pastry flour
- 100 grams of cocoa powder
- 300 grams of Sugar (1½ cups)
- 20 grams of baking powder (1¼ sachets)
- 160 milliliters of olive oil
- 4 eggs
- 4 Greek yogurts
- 120 milliliters of Milk (½ cup)
How to make Chocolate Greek Yogurt Muffins:
- Before starting to prepare the chocolate muffins with Greek yogurt, get all the ingredients ready. For the choice of cocoa, we recommend you opt for pure cocoa, but if you do not have it you can use another one that you like. On the other hand, we have used Greek yogurts of approximately 125 grams each, but if yours include more, absolutely nothing happens.
- Once you have everything prepared, sift the flour together with the baking powder and mix it with the sugar and cocoa powder, also sifted to obtain finer dough.
- Then, add the olive oil and milk and integrate both ingredients. You can use manual rods, a spatula or electric rods; you just have to take into account that if you use the latter, you must pay attention not to spread the flour outside the bowl.
- Now add the eggs one by one and continue beating. Once integrated, add the Greek yogurt and preheat the oven to 180ºC with heat up and down.
- Distribute the dough in the paper cups for muffins, occupying 3/4 parts of their capacity. If you prefer, you can also use previously greased and floured silicone molds. Then, bake the Chocolate Greek Yogurt Muffins for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out completely clean. When baking them, we recommend leaving only heat below, and turning on the heat above when there are 5 minutes left to finish cooking.
- When done, remove the muffins and let them cool. You can decorate them with icing sugar and serve the chocolate muffins with Greek yogurt for dessert, breakfast or tea time, accompanied by some homemade pastries. Being made with this creamy yogurt, the result is an equally creamy, fluffy and juicy cupcake, ideal to surprise everyone!
