Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder, optional*
- 1/2 cup Nutella®
- Holiday Sprinkles, optional*
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, Greek yogurt and vanilla.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, salt, cinnamon, espresso powder (really enhances the chocolate flavor!) and baking soda. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Like a cupcake tin with 12 liners and pour in the batter.
Step 4
Bake at 350 for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out with any wet batter sticking to it. Let cool for 20 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the center of each muffin and add one scoop of delicious Nutella® then frost some with Nutella® on top and add snowflake sprinkles. I like to leave a few unfrosted too!
