Ingredients
3/4 cup / 175 ml | unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 cup / 125 ml | each all-purpose and whole-wheat flour |
1/2 cup / 125 ml | brown sugar |
2 tbsp / 30 ml | ground flax |
1 1/2 tsp / 15 ml | baking powder |
1/4 tsp / 1 ml | salt |
1/2 cup / 125 ml | plain 2% yogurt |
3/4 cup / 175 g | Naturegg Simply Egg Whites, well shaken |
1/3 cup / 75 ml | strained prunes (baby food) |
1/3 cup / 75 ml | canola oil |
1/3 cup / 75 ml | mini chocolate chips, divided |
1/4 cup / 50 ml | chopped walnuts (optional) |
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners or grease well.
Stir the cocoa with the all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, sugar, ground flax, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the egg whites, yogurt, prunes and oil in a separate bowl. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until combined. Fold in 1/4 cup (50 mL) chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 20 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
