I’ve been on a muffin kick lately. This is the third week in a row I’ve made them. First, it was my Greek Yogurt Banana Bread in muffin form. Then I made the Banana Bran Muffins I shared recently. Yesterday, I made a new recipe that I’ve been wanting to try for months—muffins filled with strawberries, chocolate chips, and Greek yogurt. I’m really happy with how they turned out.
The base of these muffins reminds me of pancakes. Add in chocolate chips and strawberry chunks and BOOM–a decadent breakfast of sorts. Or these could be a snack. Or dessert because there’s a chocolate-covered strawberry theme going on.
I used fresh strawberries for these, but you could definitely use frozen ones. Just cut them into small-ish chunks.
When you make the batter, you’re going to notice that it is hella thick. This is what you want, so don’t fret!
You’ll want to fill each muffin cup to the top (or even slightly over) with the batter. I made a total of 12 muffins—but you can make up to 14 or so if you want.
Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. Then continue baking at 350 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes. I waited until the tops were just starting to turn golden brown.
These don’t rise excessively, so filling the batter to the top works well. Then you get the good kind of muffin top going on. See below for the condensed recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbs baking powder
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Mix in the chocolate chips and strawberries. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar.
- Slowly incorporate the butter; then mix in the yogurt.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until incorporated (batter will be thick)
- Spoon into a muffin pan that has been coated with non-stick spray. Fill all the way to the top.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. Then continue baking at 350 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes.
- Let cool for 10 minutes.

They turned out beautifully fluffy. You can store these at room temperature for a few days, but since the strawberries make pockets of moistness, I’m going to keep these in the fridge to prolong their shelf life.
Enjoy! Hope you all have a great Monday!
These look so good! Yum!
Thanks 🙂 I think they’re quite delish. But then again…anytime chocolate chips are involved, you know it can’t be too bad. Haha.
yum who doesn’t love a good muffin?! Thanks for joining us today!
Thank YOU for hosting!! I can’t believe I’ve never jumped in before. Looking forward to being a part of it more often. 🙂
I’ve been obsessed with adding greek yogurt to my muffins lately, Love this flavor combo and how simple this is!! So yummy~
Yesss, Greek yogurt is the best.
Adding that dollop of Greek yogurt must make them so moist and fluffy. Great idea- these look great- I pinned for later!
Moist and fluffy, indeed! Hope you like them. 🙂
Wow, these muffins look so delicious – and easy! I can’t wait to try them!
Oh my gosh. These look amazing. Printed it out already!! Thanks for sharing. SO nice to see a healthier version with normal-to-me ingredients 🙂
Aww well thanks. 🙂 Hope you think they taste as good as they look!
Hmm… Tis recipe looks very familiar…
Hahaha YEP! When you made the original version, it was DELICIOUS. So I was excited my changes to make it a bit healthier worked.
I love the combo of strawberry and chocolate, it’s probably second to my chocolate and pb love! I’ve been making muffins like crazy this Summer but I’ve been sticking to blueberries and raspberries. It’s time for some strawberries! 🙂
100% agree on the chocolate and pb combo. It’s my weakness. And blueberry muffins are the beeeeest. You make me want to whip up some more muffins!
