Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar (may use a substitute if you need to watch intake too)
  • 1/3 cup baking cocoa
  • 1/2 cup nonfat milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla (using almond extract is a nice twist too)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (you may use a chopped almond too)

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the applesauce, milk, egg substitute and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until moistened (do not over stir or your muffins will turn out too dense).
  4. Coat 12 muffins cups with non-stick spray or use a paper liner. Fill cups three-fourths full with batter.
  5. Sprinkle with the almonds (or you can use a white chocolate chip, peanut butter chip, chopped peppermints).
  6. Bake at 375*F for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done with a pick.
  7. Cool for 15 minutes before removing muffins from the baking cups and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
