A Muffin Obsession
My name is Maegan, and I’m obsessed with muffins! Banana muffins, chocolate chip muffins, blueberry muffins. ALL THE MUFFINS!

And these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Green Yogurt Muffins are definitely worth obsessing over. They’re definitely one of my favorite muffin recipes. And they’re healthy-ish. That’s hard to beat!

Marvelous Muffins
We always have flavored or 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.

These are great muffins! As a new and breastfeeding mom, I have made a number of adjustments to load them with galactagogues to help promote milk production. I’ve swapped some of the flour with ground flax and added brewers yeast. I’ve also reduced the amount of sugar and chocolate chips, and swapped the oil for apple sauce. They still turn out great!
Hi, Kristie! Aw, congratulations! I’m so glad you enjoyed them and made them work for you.
Not bad flavour, but don’t think I’d make them again. I think I might like Alexis’ variation a little better.
Made the batter exactly as written except I used white flour because that’s what I had on hand – this recipe is a keeper! So, so good and easy, a perfect crumb and interestingly they don’t have a very oaty texture. Thank you!
Hi, Sonia! I’m so glad you like them! ❤️
Weird question…is that 1 AND 1/2 cups of oats? Or is it 1/2 cup oats? Same with the baking powder. Thanks.
Hi Juke! It’s 1 and 1/2. We recently updated the website and some things didn’t translate that well! Thank you for letting me know it’s unclear. ❤️
I’ve made several times, only I sbstitituted chopped Walnuts for the chocolate chips, delicious! I have also used raisins in place of chocolate chips, but not a fan of that many raisins, haven’t tried them with chocolate chips yet. Then cut into 12 to 15 pieces and freeze, take out as needed.
I make them in a 11″ × 7″ glass pan, only issue I’ve had is they don’t seem to rise evenly, the middle always seems shallow, although thoroughly baked, usually takes aprox. 30 to 35 minutes?
Any suggestion?
can you comment on my email above, would appreciate any suggestion you may have!
Hi JR! I haven’t tried baking this recipe in an 11×7 glass dish so I couldn’t say for sure. I’m thinking it just need to bake longer for the middle to get the full rise that the edges are getting or the batter needs to be lightened up a bit to bake as bars. I’d have to test the recipe to determine for sure.
Canola oil very unhealthy – genetically modified industrial oil. Substitute coconut oil, butter or avocado oil. I will try recipe but substitute the GMO canola for a healthier alternative.
I would like the nutrition facts, please.

Can I use almond or coconut flour instead of the whole wheat?
Hi Hilda! I haven’t tested the recipe with almond or coconut flour, but it’s certainly worth a try. They both should work great in this recipe. Enjoy!
I made them today with Almond flour and used Unsweetened apple sauce instead of oil. They came out great.
These are delicious! Could I use butter instead of oil? How much?
Hi Kay! Great to hear you’re enjoying them. Yes, you can use the same amount of melted butter. Just melt the butter and measure it to 1/4 cup. Enjoy!
