These muffins are practically fat free and you are going to LOVE. It's also quick and easy....and, believe it or not...it's only 140 calories each – even less if you take out the chocolate chips! But ..... I SERIOUSLY feel they are necessary :-D
(Makes 8 standard size muffins)
Ingredients :
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 2/3 cup diced strawberries
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Method :
- Preheat oven to 180'C. Spray muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, gently toss the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar and applesauce until no brown sugar lumps remain - a fork works well to break up the brown sugar here. Add the beaten egg white until fully incorporated. Add the wet ingredients to the dry until just combined - do not overmix. Fold in the strawberries and chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly between 8 OR 10 muffin tins (depending on size). Bake for 18-20 minutes. Muffins will be lightly golden in colour and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean. Mine took approximately 20 minutes. Allow muffins to cool and enjoy!
- Muffins stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days (depending on humidity). Muffins can be frozen.
Notes: Do not use muffin liners for this as it will stick.
