One of the kids fave muffins. I keep playing around with the combos…sometimes mocha & choc-chip; or brown-sugar & walnuts; or plain vanilla and choc-chips and walnuts. Kids love ’em!!

Method:
- Sift flour + whole-wheat flour + baking soda + cocoa + salt 3 times. Keep aside.
- Stir together the yogurt + eggs + milk
- In a big bowl, beat the butter + sugar + vanilla essence
- Gently beat in the yogurt mix…gently, or it might splatter everywhere!!
- Stir in the sifted flour and chocolate chips until JUST MOIST.DO NOT OVER MIX.
- Sprinkle on any topping if desired.
- Put into lined muffin pan and bake for 25 mins (approximately)
- Test with a wooden pick to see if done.
- Remove from pan immediately and cool on rack.
- Can top with a butter cream icing/ganache…but they taste just fine as they are.
