Triple Chocolate Muffins

Brooke Homec
Triple chocolate muffins are made with cocoa powder, chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. They are so soft and tender, and loaded with rich chocolate flavor.

Notes

This recipe can also be made in a large loaf pan, I would check after 45-50 minutes to watch for it to be done. 
It is best to use room temperature ingredients, so try and pull the yogurt, milk and egg out of the fridge about an hour before if possible.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
