Healthy Double Chocolate Muffins

Saturday mornings are always a favorite time for me!  I enjoy lounging in bed a little longer and having something a little extra special for breakfast.  This morning I decided to whip up a delectable healthy chocolate muffin...can I just say I LOVE baking!!!

I don't love all the calories and sugar in baked goods so I work to find healthy substitutes to the ingredients without altering taste.   These muffins were made without flour and white sugar!!

Healthy Double Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients:

1-3/4 c Old fashioned oatmeal

3/4 c egg beaters

1/2 c unsweetened applesauce

1/2 c greek yogurt

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 tsp white vinegar

1 cup hot water 

1 tsp pure vanilla ext

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

1-1/2 tsp baking powder

1-1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

Mix-ins:

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray 12 cup muffin tins with non stick spray and set aside.
• I used my ninja for this part:  add all ingredients to the blender cup and blend until smooth.  Then pour into a bowl and add the mix-ins and gently stir until combined.  Pour into prepared muffin tins.  
• Place muffin pans into the oven for about 12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  **If desired you can add some additional chocolate chips to the top after baking about 8 minutes then bake the remaining time.
• Cool in pan prior to removing.
• ENJOY!!
