Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.3333 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and stir until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the cake bites dense.

Step 6

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake bite comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optional: Once cooled, dust the cake bites lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
