Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until fully combined.
  3. Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and buttermilk. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to mix.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  6. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can prep the batter the night before and bake in the morning for fresh muffins. To preserve texture, avoid overmixing the batter. For added flavor, a pinch of cinnamon can be included.
