Oil-Free Chocolate Muffins


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Description

Delicious and moist chocolate muffins made without any oil. These muffins are perfect for a healthier treat without sacrificing flavor or texture.


Ingredients

Scale

1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (240ml) low-fat plain yogurt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to combine.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
