Healthier than your average chocolate muffin

Double Choc Muffins

A healthy recipe, for Mandi, with love

Wet Ingredients:
210ml skim milk
150g low-fat vanilla yoghurt
25g reduced-fat table spread (such as Nuttelex)
1 egg

Dry Ingredients:
65g caster sugar
20g cocoa
150g wholemeal SR flour
150g normal SR flour
60g chocolate chips

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and grease some muffin pans.
2. Mix wet ingredients for 30 seconds/speed 4.
3. Add dry ingredients, incorporate briefly with spatula, and then mix for 20 seconds/reverse + speed 3 or until just combined.
4. Spoon into muffin pans and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes:
The muffins and muffin mixture may look a little lumpy because of the wholemeal flour. This is completely normal.

My mixture made 16 muffins.
I have also made these using half milk and half white chocolate chips.

deedub - they're yum, so moist! I didn't have w/meal SR flour so used all white. Next time I might use a few more choc chips to please the kids (not for me, you understand). Thanks Amy, was worth blowing the budget on the vanilla yoghurt.

dede - DS 5 gave the muffins a thumbs up and said they were very fantabulous. I just tried one myself and yum, very light and tasty.
Definitely will be making again. 5/5

Amy - Lovely ladies Mandi and Tan have done some calculations for us:
Mandi has worked out that each muffins is approximately 125 calories.
Tan worked out that if you make 16 muffins, each muffin is worth 3 points according to the Weight Watchers point system.

I made another batch of these today because the ones I baked yesterday have all disappeared!

I used half milk and half white chocolate chips this time

[dede]

I have put these on my to do list Amy. I'm sure the kids will love them too. And maybe I can have one (or two, or three )

They look nice Amy - not too big either so a nice portion size.

I normally take a cupcake to work each day for morning tea, and I think these should be that muffin. Much healthier. I'll make these. When my oven gets fixed. I'm hoping it gets replaced.

Lol deedub, I'm glad to hear it was money well blown! Thanks for the review and I'm so glad you like them!

Mandi, your muffins look wonderful! I hope the kids like them

Will find out soon Amy. I might even eat one myself
Had to go and buy some vanilla yogurt as the kids have eaten all the yogurt in the house (4 litres in 6 days )
And then I had some yogurt and a banana for lunch. Yum

[Amy :-)]

Definitely

Lol shouldn't you expect that with five of them?

A banana and some yoghurt isn't very much Mandi...

[dede]

Was a big banana

[Amy :-)]

Glad to hear it lol
