Calories: 185kcal
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 6 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped or chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened chocolate cocoa powder, sifted
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- 1 cup rainbow sprinkles
Prepare the muffin pan. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a mini muffin pan with muffin liners. Melt the butter and chocolate. Combine ½ cup (8 Tbsp) room temperature unsalted butter and 6 oz finely chopped dark chocolate (or chocolate chips) in a microwave save bowl. Microwave on high in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until all chocolate and butter is very smooth.
Stir in wet ingredients. Add ½ cup sugar, ⅓ cup Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract, then whisk to combine.
Whisk together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup cocoa powder, ¾ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp Kosher salt.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry, then whisk until flour is just mixed in. Gently fold in 1 cup rainbow sprinkles.
Bake the mini muffins. Fill each muffin liner about 4/5 of the way up. Bake for 5 minutes, then drop the temperature to 350 F. Cook for about 3-4 minutes more, or until a cake tester inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Let sit for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
