Description
Delicious and healthy chocolate muffins made with whole wheat flour and sweetened naturally.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
- ½ cup maple syrup (at room temperature)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (at room temperature)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk, at room temperature)
- ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place 12 paper or silicone liners in your muffin tin.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk. Add maple syrup, applesauce, milk, oil, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk together until just combined. Don’t overmix! Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter evenly between 12 muffin tins. I used ¼ cup to measure the batter.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
- Let muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes or so, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Make sure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- You can substitute the almond milk with any other non-dairy milk of your choice.
