Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour measured and leveled
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder for lift and fluffiness
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda for balance and browning
  • ¾ teaspoon fine salt to enhance sweetness
  • 6 tablespoons melted coconut oil or olive oil slightly cooled before using
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon honey runny and easy to mix
  • 3 large eggs preferably at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups plain Greek yogurt any fat percentage works
  • 2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract pure for best flavor
  • 1 ¼ cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark good quality
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon fresh for best aroma
  • 1 ¼ tablespoons turbinado sugar optional for crunchy tops

Method
 

  1. Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin pan with liners or a light coating of grease.
  2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the oil and honey until smooth, then beat in the eggs, followed by the yogurt and vanilla until creamy.
  4. Tip the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just barely combined, leaving a few small streaks of flour.
  5. In a small bowl, toss the chocolate chips with the cinnamon, then carefully fold them into the batter without overworking it.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, sprinkle the tops with turbinado sugar if using, and bake until golden and a tester comes out clean, about 16–18 minutes.
  7. Set the pan on a rack to cool, then remove the muffins and store any leftovers once completely cooled.
