Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
⅓ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 ¼ cup almond milk
¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder to a medium size bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add coconut sugar, eggs, unsweetened applesauce and almond milk to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add dry ingredient to the wet ingredients.
Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the flour mixture is incorporated. Do not overmix.
Add chocolate chips.
Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop, divide batter evenly into prepared muffin pan.
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let muffins cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes 12 muffins.

Notes

Make sure to grease the muffin pan. These muffins are low in fat so they have the tendency to stick to the pan.

Do not overmix the batter or the muffins will be dense. Mix the batter until all of the flour mixture has been incorporated and there are no lumps.
