Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Low-fat milk
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the low-fat milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
