Healthy Chocolate Morning Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 7/8 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

Whisk chocolate chips, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk soy milk, oil, applesauce, eggs, vinegar, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until batter is just combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until each cup is 3/4-full.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
