Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, reserving a few to sprinkle on top of the muffins if desired.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared 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 only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
