Sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl.

In a separate jug, mix together 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 egg, 1/4 cup yogurt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix lightly until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips, using a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate if desired.

Prepare silicone molds by filling them with the batter until around three-quarters full.

Microwave the molds for 45 seconds, then check the muffins for doneness.

If still wet on top, microwave for an additional 30 seconds, then check again.

Rotate the molds and microwave for another 25 seconds if needed until cooked through.

Let cool slightly before serving.
