Healthy Double Chocolate Muffins


I make these muffins for my husband to take to work for breakfast. He loves them because they're chocolate and I love them because they're healthy. They're only about 140 calories each, but I didn't tell him!


Healthy Double Chocolate Muffins

From Dashing Dish

Ingredients:
1 ¾ cup oats
3 egg whites
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ tsp cream of tartar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup hot water
½ cup sugar
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12 cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. In a blender, combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. Blend until smooth. Pour mixture into muffin tin. Add half of the chocolate chips to each muffin and stir gently to combine. Bake for 10 minutes. Add remaining chocolate chips to tops of the muffins. Bake an additional 5-8 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

Tips: Try Splenda or Stevia instead of sugar for an even lower calorie muffin!
