Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (can use white whole wheat if desired)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. Truvia Baking Blend or about 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1 avocado, mashed well (about 1/2 cup)
1 5.3-oz container fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup canola or coconut oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup chocolate chips for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with cooking spray.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, Truvia Baking Blend (or sugar), cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix well.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, fat-free milk, canola or coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until smooth and well combined.
- Add the Wet to the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can lead to dense muffins.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full. If desired, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To make these muffins dairy-free, use non-dairy yogurt and plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.
For a sugar-free version, use a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
Feel free to add nuts like walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
Mini muffins can be made by using a mini muffin tin, adjusting the baking time to about 10-12 minutes.
