Chocolate Chip Muffins

Low(er) Calorie Chocolate Chip Muffins

1 3/4 C oats

2/3 C sugar (or sugar substitue)

1/2 C unsweetened applesauce

3/4 C unsweetened cocoa

1/2 C plain Greek yogurt

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 C hot water

1 tsp vanilla

3/4 C semisweet chocolate chips, divided

In a food processor (or blender) combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. Pulse until combined. Pour into a mixing bowl and add 1/2 C of chocolate chips. Pour into wells in mini muffin or brioche tray.

Bake at 350 until tops start to set (8-10 minutes depending on which tray you use). Remove and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Continue baking until completely set. Let cool.

Notes: Mini muffins have 52 calories each. Filling the brioche wells half full gives you an 87 calorie muffin. Not too shabby! Plus these bad boys curb the chocolate craving like no other!
