These healthy Chocolate Muffins are DELICIOUS and completely guilt-free, made with whole grains and only 150 calories each!
Just like so many of my other favorite muffin recipes, these freeze wonderfully for an easy and quick breakfast or snack.
These skinny chocolate muffins are way healthier than any store bought chocolate muffin but they still have the same great flavor and texture. I call that a major WIN!
How to make Healthy Chocolate Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a standard 12 cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flours, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, yogurt, milk, applesauce and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the wet mixture, stirring just until moistened (don't over-mix).
- Divide batter between muffin cups. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Freezing Instructions: Allow muffins to cool completely. Store them in a freezer-safe ziplock bag or air-tight container.

Sounds yummy, how can I add more protein and fiber to these muffings
You could experiment adding a couple Tablespoons protein powder and/or a Tablespoon of flax seed.
Super delicious and moist. Thank you for the recipe!
Happy to hear it! Thanks Jessica.
Any idea if you can make these as mini muffins? Cook time?
Absolutely! I would check them around 10 minutes. 🙂
Loved these muffins! Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks Anj! <3
Made these for breakfast and they really hit the spot. Delicious and moist. Am not a chocoholic by any stretch but when i do crave it I Really want something with good chocolate flavor, this hit the mark. Was just wondering if your nutrition info is for the full fat yogurt and milk and for using canola oil.
Hi Mary, thank so much for sharing! The nutritional facts are using low fat Greek yogurt and coconut milk.
Delicious! Thanks Lauren!
I made these today and so happy to have found a healthy double chocolate muffin recipe! They are perfect!
I made these for an after school treat today. They were fabulous! Perfectly sweet (not too sweet!) and chocolatey! My kids devoured them. Next time I’ll have to double it! Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve baked these and love the taste, the fluffiness and texture! 10/10! Check it out! https://www.instagram.com/p/BAz3exzksWg/
Love the texture of these muffins and will make again. I was not keen on the banana in there though. I felt it took over the chocolate taste a little. It would though help keep them moist. What would be a good substitute for the banana?
Made these muffins this morning for my 3 teens as a Sunday morning treat. We all loved them. Substituted coconut oil for canola. Thanks for sharing this recipe! 🙂
Delicious!
