SKINNY DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER MUFFINS

Flourless double-chocolate and peanut butter muffins made with healthier ingredients!


These muffins are so amazing ! There are much healthier ingredients, very low sugar, and no flour!

These muffins have Greek yogurt (we love vanilla flavored!), unsweetened applesauce, blended oats, dark chocolate (healthy fats!), peanut butter, an egg, and some sweetener in the form of honey and some brown sugar. You’ve got your basic baking agents (powder and soda; plus some salt) and that’s it! One of my favorite thing about these muffins is there are no “strange” ingredients that you wouldn’t probably either have on hand or know exactly where they are in your local grocery store!

Skinny Double-Chocolate & Peanut Butter Muffins Recipe

Flourless double-chocolate and peanut butter muffins made with healthier ingredients!


Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons oat flour regular oats that have been blended
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 5 tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the 9 of the cavities in a muffin tin and fill the other three up halfway with water (ensures even baking).
  2. Do not use muffin liners! The muffins won't come out well.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the cocoa powder, oat flour (blend regular oats until they are a flour consistency. Make sure to measure the oats AFTER being blended), baking soda, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter (do not warm up), applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and honey. Beat until completely combined.
  5. Beat together dry and wet ingredients and add in the egg. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and (if desired) top each muffin with a few more.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
