Skinny Double Chocolate Muffins
These skinny double chocolate muffins are lightened up using Greek yogurt and less sugar!
I’m excited to share this recipe with you all today! I originally posted a recipe for skinny chocolate muffins over a year ago, when I first started blogging. Since it’s been a while, I decided to bring that recipe back to life and update the pictures and improve the recipe a little bit.
The old recipe was good, but I decided to try out a few changes and I loved how they turned out. These were too good not to share!
In the old recipe, I used applesauce to give the muffins moisture. This time around I used a little oil (only two tablespoons!) and Greek yogurt. I loved the addition of the small amount of oil and the Greek yogurt adds just a little extra protein.
I also used 1/2 cup of sugar, but split up between 12 large muffins it’s really not too bad. The rest of the sweetness in these muffins come from the honey. I loved the combination of the two and it makes these muffins perfectly sweet.
I also used white whole wheat flour in these muffins, which I love to use when I’m baking a little healthier. You can substitute it cup for cup with all-purpose flour and it worked wonderfully in these muffins.
I really don’t figure calories for recipes on the blog, but I did for these muffins. They come out to about 175 calories per muffin and pack about 5 grams of protein for each one! Not too bad, right?
These muffins also freeze really well and they’re great to keep in the freezer for when a craving hits. After about 30-45 seconds in the microwave, they’re perfectly warm and ready to be eaten.
Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
