Ingredients

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour or Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Whole Grain Pancake Mix
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup zero-point white granulated sugar sweetener (e.g., Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

2 large eggs or 4 large egg whites
3/4 cup skim milk or unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
10 Tbsp no sugar added chocolate chips (e.g., Lakanto sugarless chocolate chips)

Instructions

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 18 muffin cups with paper or foil liners. Alternatively, you can spray the muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray if you don’t have liners. Set aside.

Prepare Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour or pancake mix, cocoa powder, zero-point sugar substitute, baking powder, and baking soda. Add 8 tablespoons of no sugar added chocolate chips to the dry mixture and stir to combine.

Prepare Wet Ingredients

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the skim milk or unsweetened almond milk, eggs or egg whites, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Fill Muffin Liners

Fill each muffin liner evenly with batter, filling them about halfway full. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

Bake

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious Skinny Double Chocolate Chip Muffins as a guilt-free dessert or snack!

Tips for Perfect Muffins

Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to avoid tough muffins.
Use High-Quality Cocoa: Opt for high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
Check for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
