Ingredients in healthy chocolate chip muffins

I used ingredients that you probably already have on hand. These whole wheat chocolate chip muffins are made delicious with a few healthier ingredients.

Adding baking soda puffs up these muffins.

Just a pinch of salt helps enhance all the flavors and ingredients in these healthy muffins.

One egg helps to bind all the ingredients together.

Almond milk adds moisture to these muffins. Feel free to use regular cows milk or oat milk if you prefer.

Greek yogurt helps keep these muffins moist. Plain greek yogurt works best!

Coconut sugar adds an all natural natural sweetness.

Light olive oil adds moisture and texture to these muffins.

Vanilla extract is always a must in baking. It enhances all the flavors!

Lastly, chocolate chips! Add anywhere from 1/2-1 cup of chocolate chips.
