How to Make Double Chocolate Muffins Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Stir in 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup low-fat buttermilk, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup vegetable oil.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
