These Chocolate Chip Yogurt Oat Muffins are tender, chocolaty muffins that just happen to be made with whole wheat flour, honey, and yogurt!

On Monday I said that I was back from my break. I guess I was wrong. I got a stomach bug and decided to extend that break a few more days. I hope you don’t mind. . .I feel a lot more like talking about food now! 🙂 I’m glad I finally got my appetite back because these muffins have been sitting on my counter without me being able to eat them!

They are actually the second batch that I have made in two days. My husband already finished off the first batch (probably because there isn’t much food in our house at the moment. . .), so I needed to make them again so I could have some! 

When it comes to muffins, we’re kind of picky with some aspects. If they’re too sweet or oily, they won’t get eaten in this house. I really don’t want to take a bite of a muffin and have that light, oily coating left in my mouth!

That’s while you’ll notice that most of the muffins recipes on here contain very little oil, or, in the case of these muffins, none at all!

These yogurt oat muffins are great to have on hand as a snack or a quick breakfast. They are lower fat, lower sugar, and are filled with complex carbs and protein.

The base of these easy muffins is made up of whole wheat flour, oats, honey, and yogurt. Then you throw in in just enough mini chocolate chips to get a bit of chocolate in each bite!

Despite the more dense ingredients used, these muffins still have a light texture without that overly oily/sweet flavor!

If you aren’t a huge fan of chocolate, you could add cut up apple, or dried cherries/cranberries, etc. (I think I’m going to try apples next with a little cinnamon.) So whether you are looking to get back on track this new year by consistently eating a healthy breakfast, or you just want a tasty option to have on hand for snacks, these yogurt oat muffins can help with both!

Tips for Making Chocolate Chip Yogurt Oat Muffins

• Don’t like chocolate? Leave out the chocolate chips and add in some chopped apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon instead.
• You can use all white whole wheat flour or all whole wheat pastry flour if you don’t want to use all-purpose flour. However, if you use all plain whole wheat flour, the muffins will end up pretty dense.
• You can use vanilla yogurt in place of the plain yogurt for a boost in flavor and sweetness.
