Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup skim milk
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, skim milk, and the egg white. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the buns cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
