Are chocolate chip muffins healthy? They can be! These sugar free chocolate chip muffins made with greek yogurt and whole wheat flour are soft, moist, and delicious. They’re quick and easy to make and ready in less than 30 minutes. Perfect for a protein packed breakfast or snack!
Having bakery style chocolate chip muffins for breakfast on the weekend with my family is one of my favorite things to do. However, choc chip muffins pack a whole lot of calories and saturated fat that aren’t all that great for you. And if you’re going to eat all those calories they might as well be good, healthy calories.
That’s why I’m presenting you with this healthified version of a classic recipe. These healthy chocolate chip muffins are made with greek yogurt for some extra protein, whole wheat flour for fiber, oil instead of butter, and no sugar.
You can find the nutrition facts for these muffins at the bottom of the recipe.
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Muffins with No Sugar
Since there’s no sugar in this recipe these muffins are naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. It doesn’t matter which one you use. From my experience they both taste almost exactly the same when being used to sweeten muffins.
You’ll notice that there’s a small amount of chocolate chips in this recipe compared to others and that’s because this recipe yields 9 muffins. Also, chocolate can sometimes be overpowering in muffins so I like to put just enough so that there’s only about two in every bite. But if you prefer a really chocolate-y muffin then feel free to add more!
Like I said above, this recipe yields 9 muffins and that’s on purpose because if you were to divide the batter to make 12 muffins they wouldn’t be these beautifully jumbo chocolate chip muffins with gorgeously big tops. They’d be small and you know I love me some good bakery style muffins.
Despite these being whole wheat chocolate chip muffins they’re super moist thanks to the greek yogurt and oil.
Now that I have this lovely recipe, having healthy chocolate chip muffins for breakfast with my family on a week day is one of my favorite things to do too.

Was the 1/2 a tablespoon a correct measurement for the baking powder correct? Because we made it with that measurement today and the muffins tasted rather sour…
Yes, it’s correct. I’m not sure what could have caused that. Several people have made them without any problems. Check out these reviews on Pinterest.
Can you use all purpose flour and regular milk as substitutes to the non dairy milk and wheat flour? I was trying to use what I had at home.
Hi, Chelsea. Yes, you can.
If I don’t have 2% Greek Yogurt, but i have 0% Greek Yogurt, will it work as a substitute?
The fat in this recipe is important and I believe if you used nonfat Greek yogurt it would most likely change the taste and texture of the muffins but I don’t know how drastic this change would be as I have not tried this myself. So it might work, it might not.
I missed the egg . I hope it the muffins don’t get ruined ?
Oh, no. ? How did they turn out?

Something is off about these. Made the recipe exactly and I’ve never had a muffin come out tasting weird. I don’t normally have an issue tasting baking powder but these definitely tasted metallic or salty or a mixture of the two. Plus, only getting 9 muffins is a bit of a let down. Anyway, kids didn’t seem to mind them but I won’t make these again :/
Great recipe! I used whole milk instead of non-dairy milk and whole milk greek yogurt. They turned out amazing! I was able to make 12 muffins maybe because of the substitutions.
