Servings 28 - 30 mini muffins
These healthy mini chocolate chip muffins are the perfect treat for a midday snack or to enjoy with your breakfast! Better yet, they taste just like the Little Bites muffins from the store with a healthier twist! {Vegetarian}
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the yogurt, maple syrup, applesauce, oil, and vanilla.
- Gently stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Divide batter among the prepared muffin tin so that the batter is almost filled to the top. (You'll use about 1 ½ tablespoon in each mini muffin cup.) Poke a few extra chocolate chips into the surface of each muffin.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not over bake.
- Remove from oven, and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edges to loosen, if needed, then carefully transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool fully.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix your muffin batter. You can stop stirring when the ingredients are fully combined.
- Muffins rise best when the batter has been chilled. Place your mini muffin pans in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour before baking.
