Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and granulated sugar. Whisk until well mixed.
Add the eggs one at a time to the applesauce mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and low-fat plain Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix. Stir just until no dry streaks remain.
Gently fold in the mini semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices on their own or with a dollop of whipped topping for a lighter dessert option. Enjoy!
