I’m currently in the process of stocking my freezer, and this recipe is one of my favorite to have on hand for easy breakfasts or after school snacks. These double chocolate muffins aren’t free of sugar, but the ability to use any kind of milk, flour, and yogurt makes them super flexible, so you can probably make them with what you have in your pantry now!
I made these as part of the series I’m doing on how to save money by freezing food, so be sure to stay tuned for more recipes in the future.
Double Chocolate Muffins (Freezer Recipe)
The first step is to choose the fat you’re going to use. If you want these muffins to be dairy free, you can use oil instead of butter. I chose to use butter.
In a mixer, combine the butter or oil and the sugar.
Add eggs and vanilla and mix until blended.
Now it’s time to add the yogurt. This recipe is great because you can use any yogurt you have! I had organic whole milk vanilla yogurt and lowfat vanilla Greek yogurt, so I used a combination of both.
