Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins

My ricotta cheese chocolate chip muffins have been so popular, they inspired me to try a Greek yogurt version. These Yogurt Chocolate Chip Muffins were such a hit with my daughter Madison! She said they are the BEST muffins she ever tasted! That’s huge considering she’s pretty picky, and perfect as I found a new make-ahead breakfast recipe to add to my rotation.

I put the leftovers in the refrigerator after the second day, then popped them in the microwave a few seconds to get the chill out. She’s been eating them all week with no complaints.
