Ever wish you could savor rich, super chocolatey muffins that weren't loaded with tons of calories but not sacrifice taste and texture?  I give you these amazing Super Healthy Fudgy Double Chocolate Muffins!  

Healthy Super Fudgy Double Chocolate Muffins

These muffins taste like cupcakes!!!  You won't miss any frosting if they were!  I'll just tell you straight up they're rich in chocolate flavor, firm, but super moist, which is benefitted by applesauce, olive oil and whole wheat flour. 

No banana, like these.  However you could substitute banana or Greek Yogurt for the applesauce.  It's pretty versatile.

You could change up the flour to achieve what you want as far as gluten-free or all-purpose flour 1 for 1.  I love using olive oil, but I also like to use canola, but melted coconut oil or butter could also be options.

I can't believe how healthy these are.  It makes me want to eat the whole pan, even more knowing they are healthy.

That's why we have freezers. 🙂 

Take them out as needed and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee!  YUM!

Hopefully those muffins you get in the bakery or store aren't loaded with lots of preservatives and such.  That's why home-made muffins rock and the kids can snack on these and no one has to feel bad!!!  You're happy, they are happy.  Golly Gee!  Makes ya wanna stay in that perfect moment for awhile right?!

Add some flax seed, chia seeds or some chopped nuts for extra protein.  For even more richer chocolate taste, add some coffee extract or use a dark chocolate cocoa powder or use a couple of tablespoons of black cocoa powder.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup applesauce
  • ¼ cup agave nectar honey or maple syrup can also be subbed
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ cup olive oil or melted coconut oil, canola oil
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
  • 1 ⅓ cups whole-wheat pastry flour sifted (or unbleached all-purpose or gluten free)
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips + more for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C) and line 12 muffins with paper liners, or spray with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, olive oil, aguave syrup, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt for 45 seconds.
  • Stir in the almond milk and whisk once more.
  • Sift cocoa powder and flour over wet ingredients and stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Make you you don't over-mix. You want to mix until just combined.
  • Fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.
  • Batter should be quite thick, but not pourable. Use a scoop to add the muffin batter to the muffin tins and fill ¾ full and sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake for 17-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes in the pan, remove from tins and let cool on a cooling rack.
  • Make sure to seal, will keep several days.

Notes

Freezing is also an option for muffins.

    Can you substitute regular milk for the almond milk? I have a tree nut allergy here. Thank you!

    They definitely don’t look healthy! I bet they taste amazing too! Who needs the extra fat and calories, when you can make these?! I would definitely love one in the morning with my coffee!
