Ingredients And Substitutions
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
This recipe is made with all purpose flour which provides the best texture in my opinion but can easily be made gluten free. Just use a 1:1 gluten free flour blend such as Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthurs.
Baking soda and baking powder together will help these muffins rise during baking time to provide the best texture.
A touch of salt helps to balance out all the flavors.
I used plain unflavored greek yogurt from Greek God’s but you can use any type of greek yogurt. If you want to make this recipe dairy free, just use a dairy free yogurt instead.
This recipe calls for one single spotty banana. You can use more yogurt, almond butter or any other nut or seed butter in replace.
Coconut oil will help provide a moist texture to these muffins, you may use grass fed butter, regular butter, any other type of oil or ghee is preferred.
I like to use coconut sugar in my recipes since its an unrefined sweetener, but you can easily swap it out for cane sugar or a sugar free sweetener like monk fruit.
You can use vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract.
Eggs will work as a binding and leveling agent which provides a really great texture for these muffins.
Since these muffins already contain dairy from the greek yogurt you can use regular milk or if you’d like oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or any other type of nut milk or seed milk alternative.
Mini chocolate chips are recommended so that you have a piece in every single bite.

How To Make
ONE: In a large bowl, mash the spotty banana and then add in the greek yogurt, coconut sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla and melted coconut oil. Whisk until well combined.


TWO: Then, add in the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Use a spatula to mix until just combined.

THREE: Fold in the mini chocolate chips last and then add them to the muffin liners using a double cookie scoop and bake until golden brown.



Tips And Tricks
Mix together the wet ingredients before adding in the dry. No need to use two separate bowls.
Use mini chocolate chips for best results, this ensures there’s a little piece of chocolate in every bite!
Use a double cookie scoop to add batter to muffin liners.
Add on more mini chocolate chips to the tops before baking if desired.
Bake muffins using every other muffin cavity, this will allow each muffin to really pop during baking time.

How To Serve And Store
Serve these Greek Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins once they have cooled for at least 10 minutes. Allowing muffins to cool completely will prevent the liners from sticking to the bottoms.
I like to enjoy these muffins warm by reheating in the microwave for 30 seconds. They also taste amazing with butter or nut butter like almond or cashew butter.
Store in an airtight container on the counter and enjoy up to 4 days. Muffins can also be placed in the refrigerator and enjoyed up to 7 days, or in the freezer and enjoyed up to 45 days. If frozen, defrost in the fridge overnight or on the counter.
Taste And Texture
These Chocolate Chip Muffins are sweet, filled with mini pieces of chocolate for every single bite and have a lovely but very mild tangy flavor from the greek yogurt.
The texture is soft, fluffy and moist but crispy on the tops. They’re amazing!

Can’t wait to try these! How much coconut sugar? It’s not listed in the ingredients. Thank you!
Hi Missy! So sorry about that, it’s 1/2 cup coconut sugar. Just updated it now 🙂
Hi! Can is there a substitution I can use for coconut sugar?
Hi! Have I seen wrong but I don’t see the eggs in the photo but almond butter instead… Is it true? Thank you!
Hi Laura! Oh goodness, I uploaded the wrong photo- I will get that updated today. Eggs are correct. You can use almond butter instead, however it will create a more dense like muffin.
Saw almond butter on the picture but is not included on the ingredients list.
Hi Mai, that is my fault. I uploaded the wrong photo, getting that fixed right now. Eggs are correct 🙂
What about substitutes for people who are allergic To coconut?
Hi Lala, I have all substitutions at the top of this blog post. However, you can swap coconut sugar for regular sugar, and coconut oil for regular oil. Hope you enjoy!
So good! I appreciate the clean ingredients! My toddler loves them too 🥰 thank you
amazing to hear!
Can I use applesouce instead of the banana?
I’m sure you can! Apple sauce is a great substitute in most baked goods. I have not tested this myself though, so I cannot confirm with certainty that you’d receive the same result.
Yum! These are easy and delicious. I subbed blueberries because we always have some in the freezer, and I wanted to use this specific recipe because my Greek yogurt is almost expired. These are fluffy, sweet, and quick!
amazing to hear! so glad you enjoyed them!!
