Healthier 100-Calorie Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients:

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 pinch of salt

4 egg whites

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/2 medium banana (dark and spotty)

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or finely chopped dark chocolate bar)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift the mixture to remove any lumps.

Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add in the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, mashed banana, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.

Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips or the finely chopped dark chocolate bar.

Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into silicone muffin cups or a muffin tin lined with paper cups, filling each cup almost to the top.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
