Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Either coat a 12-cup standard muffin tin with butter or nonstick spray, or line with paper liners.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, milk, yogurt, and vanilla.
Step 4
Whisk in eggs.
Step 5
Sprinkle salt and baking soda over the batter and whisk thoroughly to combine.
Step 6
Stir in cocoa powder, whisking until any lumps disappear.
Step 7
Stir in flour and 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
Step 8
Spoon the batter into the 12 muffin cups; don’t fret if it goes all the way to the top.
Step 9
Scatter the remaining 1/3 cup chips over the tops of the muffins.
Step 10
Bake muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin comes out batter-free.
Step 11
Eat right away or store muffins a few days in an airtight container at room temperature. Muffins get a bit more dry each day that they rest, but will rewarm nicely.

Chef's notes
There is a lot of ingredient flexibility here. You can use any oil you like to bake with or butter.
You can use non-dairy milk, or even coffee or water for the milk.
You can use a thicker Greek yogurt or a 'regular' one, though the latter is preferred here.
You can use white or raw sugar instead, but brown sugar is loved the most with chocolate cakes.
Any kind of cocoa powder will work; tested with both Hershey’s Dark and Valrhona (a Dutched cocoa) and both were dreamy.
The chocolate chips, however, are not optional.
