Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Muffins made with whole wheat flour, oats and Greek yogurt in a healthier hearty muffin that everyone will love!
I’m obsessed with muffins! They’re easy to bake, easy to serve, easy to eat and the varieties are endless.
I can pretty much just open the fridge and pantry to find a few handy ingredients that would make tasty muffins in no time.
We always have Greek yogurt on hand and I love baking with it because it adds great moisture and nutrition. I frequently use it in place of sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk and heavy cream in some recipes and you can hardly tell the difference.
Today, I’m sharing a marvelous muffin that’s made healthier with whole wheat flour, oats, and a big cup full of Greek yogurt. They’ve got chocolate in them which makes them taste way more indulgent than they really are!
Enjoy!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Muffins made with whole wheat flour, oats and Greek yogurt in a healthier hearty muffin that everyone will love!
Ingredients
Muffins:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1–1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1–1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup canola oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and Greek yogurt. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Divide batter evenly among greased muffins cups, filling each one almost full.
- In a small bowl, stir together the struesel ingredients with a fork until well coated in the oil. Place a heaping tablespoon of streusel over the batter in the muffin cups.

These are beautiful! If they taste even half as good as they look, and I am sure that they will, I will be making these often. Thank you so much for your recipes

How many calories per muffin?
Hi Melissa! I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients which often have differing nutritional values. I would recommend plugging the ingredients you use into a free online nutrition calculator like: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator Hope this helps!
Can you use regular flour if you don’t have whole wheat? Is the ratio the same?
Hi Jessica! Yes, it will work just as great. Enjoy!
Hi…I’m wondering how long these store? I am looking to bake some for friends but won’t be able to give them tot them for a couple of days…will they still be delicious? 😉
Hi Sarah! I would recommend letting them cool and then storing them in the refrigerator until you are ready to give them to your friends. They’ll taste best within 2-3 days. Enjoy!
Hi, can I bake this in a 9×5 inch pan, instead of muffins? If so, how long would I need to bake it for?
Hi Auj! Yes, you can definitely bake the recipe as a loaf. I would give it about 40-45 minutes to bake all the way through. If the top looks done, but the center is not baked all the way through, just tint it with foil and let it continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Enjoy!
I just made this recipe and it turned out awesome! I used 1 cup of gluten free flour instead of whole wheat flour and gluten free oats and my kids have already eaten quite a few!! Thank you so much! Such a great recipe!

I found this recipe 2 weeks ago. Since then, I’ve shared it with three people and have made 3 batches! And I live alone. 🙂
Every “healthy” muffin recipe I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a lot) has always been underwhelming, at best. These are crazy-delicious. The first time, I made them as-is, but I left off the streusel topping (I was being lazy) and they were incredible. The second time, I made them with GF flour since I’ve been trying to cut back my gluten, and I also blended half of the oatmeal into flour. These were also fabulous. The yogurt in them is a game-changer, but the chocolate doesn’t hurt either. 🙂 I also love that it’s a great, basic recipe. You could switch up the chocolate chips and mix in anything you’d normally put in your oatmeal. At 2 teaspoons of sugar per muffin, you can’t go wrong. Try this recipe, it will not disappoint!

Really good used olive oil and only 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and didn’t do the topping couldn’t stop eating them which is not good!

Can you substitute the canola oil with unsweetened applesauce? If so how much applesauce?
Hi Brenda! Yes, you can replace the canola oil with 1/4 cup applesauce. Enjoy!
can i use coconut oil instead?
Hi Danessa! Yes, you can use coconut oil in place of the canola oil. It will add a nice flavor addition to the muffins. Enjoy!
very tasty and filling!
★★★★★
Can I use the 1 minute instant oats? Or does it have to be the old fashioned oats? Thank you
Hi Lisa! Yes, you can use 1-minute instant oats. Just make sure they’re not already cooked and watch the baking time as the muffins might bake a little faster. Enjoy!
Hit with the hole family ! Super yummy 😋

These are quick to put together and delicious. To minimize the calories I made them without the strudel.
★★★★★
Can I use plain yogurt if I don’t have greek yogurt? Same amount?
Hi! Yes, it will work great too. Plain yogurt is just slightly less creamy and tangy than Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
These are very good but super sweet. I am a sweet lover and these were too sweet for me. I am gonna try again with 1/2 cup chocolate chips and also just sprinkle a little oatmeal on top. will see how that goes!

Hi Rebecca! You could definitely reduce the amount of brown sugar in both the muffin batter and the streusel and they will still bake up great. I hope you continue to enjoy them!
These were so good. Made them exactly as per recipe. Will definitely make them again and again.

I made 12 with the topping and 6 without. The kids liked them. I liked them too, but found them a bit heavy. My only change was to use quick oats in the batter rather than than the old fashioned oats. I used the old fashioned oats for the topping though.

this recipe was amazing. everyone loved them
★★★★★
Can’t wait to make these but was wondering if I could use honey instead of sugar, if so how much honey would I need?
Hi Denise! Yes, you can definitely substitute honey for the brown sugar in the recipe. I would recommend 1/3 cup honey for the 1/2 cup brown sugar the recipe calls for. For the streusel, I would recommend 3 tablespoons honey for the 1/3 cup brown sugar it calls for. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
W O W, just wow. I absolutely LOVE these muffins. They smelled amazing when everything came together and it was love at first bite. I love taking them to work for an afternoon pick me up with my tea. This will definitely be a staple muffin recipe in my books. Thank you!!!

Hello,
Can maple syrup be substituted for the brown sugar (in the muffins, not the streusel)? I got the idea from your healthy blueberry breakfast cupcakes. Thank you for the help! 🙂
Hi Ace! Yes, I would suggest you replace the 1/2 cup brown sugar called for in the recipe with just 1/3 cup maple syrup. There’s so much going on in the recipe already that the change in texture won’t be that noticeable. I would recommend still using brown sugar in the streusel. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
