Skinny Triple Chocolate Chip Muffins

These muffins are so moist and chocolaty, its surprised me at how healthy these really are. With only 95 calories per muffin there is no guilt to be had! Its free of flour, butter and sugar.. amazing.




Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup oats
3 egg whites
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup baking stevia OR 1 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.

In a blender, mix all of the ingredients together, except for the chocolate chips. Blend until oats are ground and mixture is smooth.

Place mixture in a bowl and gently stir in 1/2 of the chocolate chips. Scoop mixture into prepared muffin pans.

Place muffins tins in the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove muffins from the oven and distribute the other half of the chocolate chips on top of each muffin.

Place the muffins back into the oven and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Once done, let muffins cool a couple minutes before transferring to wire rack. Let cool completely.
