Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 0.75 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat bran, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat together the Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips to the batter for an extra indulgent touch.
Divide the batter evenly 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 or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Chocolate Fiber Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
