Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup

Add-ins

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place muffin liners in a muffin tin to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, excluding the chocolate chips. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry mix and add the Greek yogurt, milk, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Gently mix together with the dry ingredients just until combined to keep the batter moist and tender.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips carefully to distribute them evenly without over-mixing the batter.
  5. Fill muffin tins and bake: Evenly distribute the muffin batter among the lined muffin cups. Bake at 350°F for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and store: Allow muffins to cool on a wire rack before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter to avoid dry and crumbly muffins.
  • Use any milk of choice such as dairy, almond, or oat milk.
  • Unsweetened applesauce is used as a healthy fat substitute keeping the muffins moist.
  • For a sweeter muffin, increase maple syrup slightly, but note it may affect texture.
  • Store muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
