Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams non-fat Greek yogurt
- 120 milliliters skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, skim milk, egg, vanilla extract, canola oil, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the buns tough.
Step 5
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and form each portion into a ball. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a bun comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your low fat chocolate buns warm or at room temperature!
