Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.75 cup Frozen or fresh cherries (pitted and chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Mini semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with 8 paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, applesauce, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg whites until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped cherries and mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 8 prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
