A Few week ago I saw Chobani vanilla chocolate chunk yogurt at the grocery store with a recipe for muffins. I thought it was a great idea and I snatched up that yogurt. Then it sat in my fridge for ages. I finally found the time to make them and I couldn’t be happier with the result. In fact, between Kelly and I we made them 3 times in two days. Just a couple days after making the muffins we decided we better share this little gem on the blog. I went to the grocery store and no vanilla chocolate chunk yogurt. I asked Kelly to look at the store by her. No go. She looked at two additional stores and still no yogurt. Devastation hit us hard. We only just found these muffins and we already had to give them up? What’s up Chobani? Where’s the vanilla chocolate chunk yogurt at?
We knew we couldn’t give up that easily. These muffins were too good not to make again. We put our heads together and decided to buy vanilla yogurt and add chocolate chunks. I know, it was a giant leap, but we made it. So, if you can find vanilla chocolate chunk yogurt then buy that and add about 1 cup of extra chocolate chips. If you can’t, then buy the vanilla yogurt and follow the recipe below. These muffins are soft and moist and chocolatey but not too sweet. The perfect breakfast treat.
