Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Low-fat milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with nonstick baking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can toughen the muffins.

Step 5

If you're using dark chocolate chips, fold them into the batter gently.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your fat-free chocolate muffins as a guilt-free snack or dessert!
