NOTES : I make these same muffins (which are wonderful). Yes, you can definitely use plain yogurt - that's all I usually have in the house, so that's what I use. I add a little vanilla extract or I make vanilla sugar (put a vanillabean in sugar and let sit overnight) and use that. You can't mess these up very easily :) I even add a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the recipe. Delish. [Natalie Frankel (Natalie.Frankel@mixcom.com)]

Hi gang. I made Reggie's chocolate muffins last night. I made one small change. I added 3/4 cup grated zucchini to the liquid and I decreased the milk (I used light vanilla soy milk) by 1/8 cup. Oh yeah, instead of vanilla yogurt, I used strawberry as that is all I had. The muffins turned out great. Very moist. ["Taylor, Tamara"
