Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Low-fat milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with nonstick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg whites, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can toughen the muffins.
If you're using dark chocolate chips, fold them into the batter gently.
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 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.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your fat-free chocolate muffins as a guilt-free snack or dessert!
