Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, low-fat plain yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread tough.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the chocolate bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread warm, or let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
