Sometimes I crave chocolate chip muffins for breakfast. Today is one of those days. I love to have a muffin with a glass of hot tea right after I’ve had some eggs and/or sausage. It makes my breakfast complete. These muffins are amazingly soft, light, with that beautiful airy texture! And not only that, they are made using Greek yogurt, which replaces some of the vegetable oil, thus reducing the fat content!
I loved these so much, I actually had one for breakfast, and the second one – after dinner, for dessert!
It takes no time to prepare these muffins, so, if I were you, I would get your coffee maker started or start boiling water for hot tea. Warm drinks are perfect with these breakfast muffins, as they will make chocolate chips melt in your mouth! Enjoy!
