Low-fat Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yes I have a recipe for low-fat chocolate chip muffins, I could have called them skinny chocolate chip muffins but I prefer low-fat. Low-fat has gotten such a bad rep and I am looking to put it back on the map.

If you want to replace the applesauce for oil you can, but remember the key is to keep calories low so you can eat more than one. I used a mixture of mini chocolate chips and regular chocolate chips. I prefer mini because you get chocolate chips in every bite. Question of the day: What’s your favorite muffin to eat? 

Low-fat Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe:
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar substitute (I used stevia)
3 tsps. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup almond milk
1/3 cup apple sauce
2 egg whites
¼ cup brown sugar
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used mini)
Recipe Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees; in a large bowl add egg white, apple sauce, sugar substitute, vanilla and brown sugar. Stir until the ingredients are combined and slowly stir in milk. Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl and add to the mixture. Mix until dry ingredients are blended in well. Let sit for 1-2 minutes and fold in chocolate chips. Place cupcake liners in a muffin tin and add 1-2 heaping tablespoons of batter to each liner. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.
