Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Yogurt Muffins

Delicious chocolate chip muffins made with our own Promise Valley cream-top A2 yogurt.

There's something timeless about a muffin warm from the oven -- especially when it's filled with chocolate chips and our own creamy, organic yogurt made from our Guernseys' whole, fresh milk!

Instead of store-bought yogurt, we use our own organic cream-top yogurt, made from the rich milk from our herd of Guernsey cows. It's made right here on the farm, only steps away from our little farm store and our barns. Unlike most conventional yogurts, ours is made without any additives, fillers, thickeners, or artificial sweeteners. And because it's made from A2A2 milk, it's easier on digestion! Many people who struggle with dairy find that they can enjoy our yogurt without discomfort.

 If you haven't tried baking with our yogurt yet, this is a wonderful way to start. It works anywhere full-fat Greek yogurt is called for, and it adds depth, flavour, and real nourishment from pasture-raised milk. And the rest of the ingredients? You can find cane sugar and eggs from Lockwood Farms and organic all-purpose flour from One Organic Farms right at our little farm store, too. :)

The Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour works, too)

• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

• 1 1/2 tsps baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 cup canola oil

• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 cup vanilla-flavoured Greek yogurt (or our yogurt)

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  
  

  For the streusel:

• 2 tsps canola oil

• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar

• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats

• 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter and set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon until evenly combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and the yogurt until smooth.

4. Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.

5.Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each one almost to the top.

6. In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients. Use a fork to mix until the topping is evenly coated and crumbly.

7.Sprinkle a generous tablespoon of streusel over each muffin.

8.Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and the streusel topping is crisp.

9.Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely -- or enjoy one warm.

And, that's it! Happy baking from all of us at Promise Valley!
