Strawberries & Chocolate Muffins

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 :



  1. Preheat oven to 180'C. Spray muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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.
