Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 24-cup stainless steel mini muffin pan with avocado oil or grease with butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour (spoon & level, don’t pack into measuring cup), baking powder, baking soda, salt, maple sugar, stir in chocolate chips.
In another bowl, whisk egg, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and yogurt until smooth.
Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, do not overmix.
Scoop batter evenly into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake 11-13 minutes in pan until tops are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Freezer: Freeze immediately after cooling in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge or pack frozen in lunchboxes, they'll be soft by lunchtime! Gluten-free: Use a quality GF 1:1 flour blend in place of all-purpose. Dairy-free: Swap Greek yogurt for a coconut or almond yogurt, and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
