Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened, dark)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or non-fat)
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)

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 nonstick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, honey, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix, as this could lead to dense muffins.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

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, or freeze for longer storage.
