This is a knock off of Whole Foods 6 dollar per 4 Vita Top Muffins. Low fat ingredients include egg whites, yogurt and sugar substitute.

Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification and a more consistent batter.
Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins.
Stir in the chocolate chunks gently at the end to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
