Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups plain 2% or whole-milk Greek yogurt (300g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon milk of choice (135ml)
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil or melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup maple syrup (80g)
  • 2 ½ cups protein pancake mix (such as Kodiak Cakes) (250g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (90g), plus more for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, milk, oil or melted butter, vanilla, and maple syrup until very smooth.
  • Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle the pancake mix, baking powder, and salt over the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  • Fold in Add-Ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until just incorporated.
  • Scoop & Bake: Divide the batter evenly between muffin cups (about a heaping ¼ cup), filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until tops are puffed and a tester comes out clean. Do not over bake, or they will be dry.
  • Cool & Store: Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Pancake Mix: Nutrition information will depend on brand used.
  • Sweetness: These muffins aren’t overly sweet (again, depends on brand, but still). I added the chocolate chips for this reason. You can double the chocolate chips if you want a sweeter muffin, or serve some syrup on the side for dipping.
