Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 1 ½ cups Whole wheat pastry flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free twist) Use oat flour for gluten-free option.
  • ½ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • a pinch of salt
  • ½ cup Plain Greek yogurt Acts as a healthy fat substitute.
  • 1 Large egg white
  • ½ cup Unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅓ cup Honey or agave nectar For a lower-calorie option, use stevia or monk fruit drops.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp Dark chocolate chunks For the topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini-muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg white, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently until just combined. Tip: Overmixing leads to tough muffins!
  4. Scoop the batter into the tin. Press a few dark chocolate chunks into the top of each muffin for that bakery-style look.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Let them cool for 5 minutes. Pro Tip: Serving these slightly warm makes the chocolate chunks perfectly melty!

Notes

To maximize freshness, store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days. These freeze beautifully—simply pop one in the microwave for 15 seconds for a ready-to-go treat anytime.
