Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with muffin liners to ensure easy removal and clean-up.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Whisk these together thoroughly, but do not add the chocolate chips yet.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Add the plain Greek yogurt, milk, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup into the well. Stir gently just until the batter is moist and combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly into the batter, ensuring they are well distributed without over-stirring.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin liners. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Store: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened applesauce to keep the muffins moist and reduce added sugars.
  • If you want a dairy-free version, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense or dry muffins.
  • Dark chocolate chips add antioxidants and a rich flavor but can be replaced with semi-sweet chocolate chips if preferred.
  • These muffins freeze well for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
