Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a small scoop or tablespoon, divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low fat mini chocolate chip muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast treat!
