Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Low-fat milk
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, instant coffee granules, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the low-fat milk, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
