Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp of ground ginger
  • 2 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt (I highly recommend Fage)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup of almond milk
  • 1 medium apple, cored and chopped fairly small
  • 1/2 a cup of mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine the dry ingredients (flour - ginger in the list above) in a medium mixing bowl.
  • In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar, and yogurt on medium speed with a handheld mixer (or really vigorously with a whisk or fork!) until just combined.
  • Add the milk and vanilla extract and beat until just combined.
  • Add half of the dry ingredient mixture to the yogurt mixture and beat to combine, then add in the second half of the dry ingredients and beat to combine.
  • Using a spatula, carefully fold the apples and chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into a greased muffin pan, making sure not to overfill each cup. This batter rises a lot, so leave a little bit of empty space at the top of each cup!
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are slightly golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool on a rack for 5-10 minutes before removing and enjoying them!
