Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Muffins

Wheat Dark Chocolate Muffins are an all-time favorite, and I am so glad to have found this healthier recipe that yields the same moist and spongy muffins, without using eggs, butter or all-purpose flour. Just reduce the sugar content a bit and these are great as a snack for kids after school.Made with whole wheat flour and real chocolate chips, these are perfect for my son who is as much of a chocolate fan as me, plus it’s an eggless recipe that does not use butter too, so works for me as well! I decide to omit the coffee flavor as I was baking these for the kids, and substituted vanilla instead. But I think these would work well even with other flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg.

The beauty of the recipe lies in the fact that it uses melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder to impart the chocolate flavor, as well as keeping the muffins moist at the same time. The oil and milk combined with the baking soda act as a leavening agent, making them rise beautifully.These whole wheat dark chocolate muffins have no eggs and no butter. They are chocolatey, super moist with a very tender crumb. There is plenty of chocolate flavor from the cocoa powder and the chocolate chips. Also, you can use full fat milk, almond milk or soy milk.

2.     Sift all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, alng with the sugar.

3.     Melt ¾ cup chocolate chips with 1 tbsp. milk in a microwave by heating for 30 seconds or so, in 10 second intervals, and stirring in between.

Serving suggestions

Moist, soft and perfectly baked muffins are good for lunch boxes or with your morning coffee.

Notes

Don’t over-mix the batter if you want tender muffins. Use a rubber spatula and mix just until no flour pockets remains.

Store the double chocolate muffins in an airtight container for up the 3 days or freeze them, individually wrapped in cling film. Thaw at room temperature or in the microwave.

They also make an excellent snack during the day when you’re looking for something more indulgent than a plain old granola bar.
