Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Greek Yogurt Muffins

Once a week I like to indulge in a breakfast with a little something sweet. I recently came across a recipe that I loved! Also, muffins with a struesel topping are always a favorite of mine. That crunchy, sweet topping adds a nice crunch and sweetness that make them perfect for breakfast or snacking.

I found this recipe at The Baker Mamma I only made one small change to the recipe. I used half whole wheat flour and half white. These were so good! It’s nice to eat a healthier muffin that has some of my favorite ingredients – Greek yogurt, oatmeal and chocolate! It was the perfect non-guilty indulgence!

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside. (I found that this batter made 16 muffins)
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and Greek yogurt. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
4. Divide batter evenly among greased muffins cups, filling each one almost full.
5. In a small bowl, stir together the struesel ingredients with a fork until well coated in the oil. Place a heaping tablespoon of streusel over the batter in the muffin cups.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until muffins start to turn golden brown and streusel is crisp. Let muffins cool in pan for 5-10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy.

If you make these muffins, be sure not to omit the streusel topping! It takes them to the next level!
