Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk (low-fat or skim)
- 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well-blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (a few melted chocolate bits are fine).
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer 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 or refrigerate for up to a week.
