Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.3333 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and stir until well incorporated.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the cake bites dense.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake bite comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake bites from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once cooled, dust the cake bites lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
