Marvelous Muffins

We always have plain Greek yogurt on hand and I love baking with it because it adds great moisture and nutrition. I frequently use it in place of sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk and heavy cream in some recipes and you can hardly tell the difference.Today, I’m sharing a marvelous muffin that’s made healthier with whole wheat flour, oats, and a big cup full of Greek yogurt. They’ve got chocolate in them which makes them taste way more indulgent than they really are! I opt for semi-sweet chocolate, but dark chocolate chips would also be delicious.
