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

Ingredients

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
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

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.
Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full. Bake 22 to 23 minutes or until tops of muffins spring back when lightly touched.
Cool completely and remove from pan.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the muffins will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
Use a muffin pan with liners. This will help the muffins to bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set.
