Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 ounces Dark chocolate bar (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter or neutral oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, egg, applesauce, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the finely chopped dark chocolate, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your chocolate flecked multigrain muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days!
