Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams non-fat Greek yogurt
- 120 milliliters skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, skim milk, egg, vanilla extract, canola oil, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the buns tough.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and form each portion into a ball. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out clean.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your low fat chocolate buns warm or at room temperature!
