Provided by Chocolate Covered Katie

Categories     Breakfast     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup milk of choice
2 tbsp yogurt, (or sub coconut cream or mashed banana)
3 tbsp oil, (or additional yogurt)
1 tbsp vinegar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt, (just over level)
1/2 cup sugar, (unrefined if desired (granulated erythritol or xylitol also work))
optional 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease a muffin tin or line with liners. (If using the oil-free option, they stick to the liners the first day. The liners peel off easily after sitting a day, so you can either wait a day or bake sans liners.) Set aside. In a large measuring bowl, whisk together the first 4 ingredients and let sit at least 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients and stir well. Pour wet into dry, stir just until evenly combined, then portion into the muffin tins. If desired, you can press a few chocolate chips into the tops of the muffins as well. Bake 14 minutes or until domed and a toothpick comes out mostly clean from the center of a muffin. Store leftovers in the refrigerator, and they are best eaten or frozen after 2-3 days.View Nutrition Facts

LOW FAT DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS



Low Fat Double Chocolate Muffins image

Don't deprive yourself. You can easily fit this treat into a low fat, calorie controlled diet! It has a rich taste with only 2.4gm fat per serve. I found that I could just taste the prunes but that they gave the muffin a bit of complexity. Best eaten same day, as the top may become a bit sticky when stored. (I kept them and zapped in microwave for 10secs to refresh. mmm) from Aust. Women's Weekly Simply Lite Food.
