Makes: 12 muffins
Ingredients
-
3/4
cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
-
3/4
cup plus 2 tablespoons (165 grams) sugar, plus more for sprinkling
-
1
teaspoon kosher salt
-
2
eggs
-
1 1/4
cups all-purpose flour
-
1/4
cup (25 grams) almond flour
-
1 1/2
teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
-
3/4
cup (180 milliliters) plain whole yogurt
-
1 1/2
teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 1/4
cups (210 grams) chopped dark chocolate
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F and position a rack toward the top. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners.
- Cream the butter, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until nice and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
- Pause mixing and add the flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, yogurt, vanilla, and chocolate. Mix cautiously, just until incorporated.
- Fill the muffin cups with batter all the way to the top, even a little over. Sprinkle the tops with some sugar.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the muffins are brown and they spring back when you poke them gently. Zoe says: “Please do not overbake!”
