Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce and granulated sugar. Whisk until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the applesauce mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and low-fat plain Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Gradually fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix. Stir just until no dry streaks remain.
Step 7
Gently fold in the mini semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Step 11
Serve slices on their own or with a dollop of whipped topping for a lighter dessert option. Enjoy!
