In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the canola oil, yogurt, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula. Be cautious not to overmix; stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed within the batter.

Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling each about halfway full to allow for rising.

Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
