Marvelous Muffins
We always have plain 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! I opt for semi-sweet chocolate, but dark chocolate chips would also be delicious.

I love this recipe! I use it as a base and change the add-ins. I make bigger muffins that are great for eating on the way to work. They freeze well, too.
Hi, Mepowell! I love to hear how you’ve made them your own. Thank you for sharing!
can they be frozen?
Hi, Kerry! Yep! Just allow them to cool completely. Then wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight plastic container or bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Hi!
Can I make this into a loaf instead of muffins? Do you know what the bake time would be on this?
I never have luck with muffins not sticking so loaf pans are all I have.
Thanks!
Hi Meoshi! I haven’t tested the batter in loaf form, but I think it would bake up great. I would recommend using a 9×5-inch loaf pan and baking it at 350°F for about 60 minutes on the middle rack of your oven. I would rotate the loaf pan after 30 minutes and check every 10-15 minutes after that. If the top of the loaf starts to brown or crisp too much before the center is baked through, I would tint the loaf pan with foil and let it continue baking until a knife or cake testing stick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. I hope this helps and that is bakes up great as a loaf. Enjoy!
