Healthy Double Dark Chocolate Muffins image

My husband loves to have a muffin as a mid-morning snack, so I came up with something a little healthier for him to take to work. You can use either mashed bananas or applesauce. The applesauce will give a more neutral flavor if you don't like the taste of bananas.

Time 38m

Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas or 1 cup applesauce
1/3 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-count muffin tin with paper liners or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the banana or applesauce, yogurt, sugar, maple syrup, egg, oil, and vanilla. Whisk until well-blended.
  • Add the flour mixture to the banana or applesauce mixture and stir just until flour is incorporated. Do not over-mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
