Triple Chocolate Chunk Muffins

INGREDIENTS

1 3/4cup Oats
3Egg whites
3/4cup Unsweetened cocoa
1/2cup Unsweetened applesauce
1tsp Vanilla extract
1/2cup Plain greek yogurt (or regular plain low fat yogurt)
1/2tsp Cream of tartar (or 2 tsp. vinegar)
1 1/2tsp Baking powder
1 1/2tsp Baking soda
1/4tsp Salt
1cup Hot water
1/2cup Baking stevia OR 1 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar 1
1/2cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil cupcake liners, or spray muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2.In a blender, (or food processor), mix all of the ingredients together, except for the chocolate chips. Blend until oats are ground and mixture is smooth.
3.Place mixture in a bowl and gently stir in 1/2 of the chocolate chips (set the rest aside). Scoop mixture into prepared muffin pans.
4.Place muffins tins in the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove muffins from the oven (but don’t shut oven off), and distribute the other half of the chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
5.Place the muffins back into the oven and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.*Note, you could skip this step by putting all of the chips in the batter, and baking the muffins for 12-15 min straight, but this method gives the muffins the traditional ‘VitaTop Muffin’ look with the chocolate chips on top!
6.Cool muffins before removing from pan. ENJOY!!!
