Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk (low-fat or skim)
• 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well-blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 (a few melted chocolate bits are fine).

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer 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 or refrigerate for up to a week.
