Start by creaming together sugar, oil, melted butter, and eggs until well combined. Stir in yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract.
Sift together all the dry ingredients and fold them into the wet mixture. Mix until well combined and lump-free, taking care not to overmix.
Gently fold in mini chocolate chips. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full, sprinkle a few extra chips on top, and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the muffins have puffed up nicely.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy your muffins warm or store them for a quick grab-and-go treat.
