Who doesn’t have time for chocolate, right? These chocolate chip muffins make an easy breakfast, snack, or treat any time of day!

Mornings come awfully quick, don’t they? That’s why I like to have some breakfast treats made ahead of time. These chocolate chip muffins fit the bill nicely. They are easy to make, store well in the freezer, or on the counter and make a great grab and go food.

When we are running errands, I can pack one or two in my to go bag, and not have to worry about the “hangries” getting the better of either the Frenchman or the boy. This also saves us from stopping at a drive thru, as we are better able to wait until we get home to eat.

What kind of flour do I use?

I used all purpose, white flour. However, you can easily substitute out wheat pastry flour for these. If you want to go gluten free, you may be able to replace the flour 1:1 with almond flour.

Why use yogurt?

Plain yogurt is also used, as a bit of leavening. I have found that Greek yogurt works the best for these, but regular plain yogurt is just fine. If you want, you can use sour cream instead.

What are some alternatives for chocolate chips in recipes?

If you don’t want chocolate chips, you can try substituting them. Here are some ideas:

cacao nibs
butterscotch chips
grated chocolate bar
chopped nuts
