Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup.
  • Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Combine the eggs, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in another bowl, whisking until smooth. Stir in the cooled brewed coffee, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well mixed.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  • Fold in most of the chocolate chips, saving a handful to sprinkle on top.
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full, then sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 16–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring the muffins to a wire rack.

Notes

For an added crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking.
