Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened, dark)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or non-fat)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, honey, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix, as this could lead to dense muffins.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
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, or freeze for longer storage.
