Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1 cup sugar
200g
1 cup chocolate candies
170g
8 tbsp dry cocoa powder
44g
1 tsp baking soda
4.60g
1 egg
44g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
1 cup lowfat greek yogurt
240g
8 tbsp milk (3.25% fat)
120g
8 tbsp vegetable oil
110g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tray with paper liners or grease it lightly with a non-stick spray or butter.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are fully combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then add the vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, milk, and vegetable oil to the egg. Whisk until you have a smooth, consistent mixture.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
5. Add Chocolate Candies: Fold in the chocolate candies gently into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
6. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising.
7. Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-22 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tray for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve: Enjoy these rich chocolate candy muffins on their own or paired with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee.

Tips:

- Sift Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda together to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth batter.

- Don't Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can result in dense, tough muffins.

- Measure Accurately: Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately, using a kitchen scale if possible, to get the best results.

- Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temperature eggs, milk, and yogurt. This helps in evenly distributing the ingredients and results in better texture.

- Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick in the center of a muffin to check for doneness. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are ready.
