Hi all!
Happy Tuesday!
No longer Monday, yet not quite Friday...
Which make Tuesdays the perfect time to spend some quality time off in Pinterestland looking for some scrumptious looking recipes... especially healthy takes on some of my absolute not-so-healthy favorites!
Insert muffins here.
Besides my adoration for all things muffins, coupled with my boyfriend's just as strong devotion to the little bundles of yummy goodness; I can't help make a dozen (or four) at a time...
Please, don't judge me...
Especially after you give these Not-So-Guilty Chocolate Chip Muffins a try! After seeing numerous recipes that included Greek yogurt in them, I finally broke down and bought two single servings of plain Greek yogurt to add to my muffin recipe (please note, I can't stand the taste of Greek yogurt! YUCK!)
I found a couple of recipes that were very similar but ended up tweaking them just a bit to make them just a tad healthier. So go ahead, be daring; try these for yourself and don't be afraid to tell me how they turned out for you! Warning: They lasted maybe a day at my house!
What You Need:
~ 2 cups Flour
~ 2/3 cup agave nectar
~ 1/2 teaspoon salt
~ 2 teaspoons baking powder
~ 1/3 cup vegetable oil
~ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
~ 2 eggs
~ 1 single serve cup of Greek yogurt
~ 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Directions:
~ Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
~ Spray muffin tin with cooking spray or line tin with muffin cups
~ In large bowl, mix together flour, agave nectar, salt and baking powder and set aside
~ In a second medium sized bowl add in vegetable oil, 2 eggs, vanilla and Greek yogurt and mix well
~ Take the liquid mixture and add it to the flour mixture and fold in well
~ Add chocolate chips to the mixture (add more than a few extra if you wish ;))
~ Fill muffin pan with batter and fill them right around 3/4 full and bake for 20-24 minutes
~ Enjoy!
NOTE: Please don't be too surprised when these muffins pop up right away (I was shocked at how quickly they turned from masses of batter to muffins!
