How to Make Deep Chocolate Vitamuffin Copycat Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin or prepare a baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup Splenda.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 cup fat-free half-and-half (or nonfat evaporated milk), 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or plain nonfat yogurt), 3 egg whites (or 2 eggs + 1 egg white, or equivalent egg substitute), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup hot water.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin cups or onto the baking sheet, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
