Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
• 0 non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low fat mini chocolate chip muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast treat!
