YOGURT CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

cooking spray

1 3/4 cups cake flour (see notes below for GF)*

1/2 tsp baking soda

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

2/3 cup sugar

3 large egg whites (or two large eggs)

1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

10 ounces (1 1/4 cups ) 0% Greek yogurt

9 tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with 12 muffin liners and spray with oil.
2. Mix flour and baking soda with a whisk in a medium bowl.
3. In a large bowl with a hand mixer, mix and cream the butter and sugar on medium setting for about 2 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, beat the egg whites and vanilla with a whisk, add to bowl with butter/sugar mixture.
5. Mix in the yogurt, then flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined, 1 minute.
6. With a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and spoon to lined muffin tins about 3/4 filled (I used an ice cream scoop).
7. Bake at 375° or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool before eating.
