Instructions
- Prep Equipment: Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease 12-cup or line with paper cups; set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine all of dry ingredients; set aside.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In large bowl, whisk together applesauce, maple syrup and sugar. Add peanut butter, whisking until combined. Then add in egg and vanilla, whisking until smooth.
- Make muffin batter: Gently add dry ingredients to large bowl of wet ingredients, using a spatula to gently stir a couple of times, then add in milk; use rubber spatula or large spoon to stir together wet and dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Avoid over-mixing. Batter should be wet and fairly thick. Evenly distribute batter into muffin pan, about 2/3 way full.
- Bake: Bake muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out with no wet batter. Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!
Notes
- FLOUR – You may sub half all-purpose flour with half whole wheat flour. Using all whole wheat white flour is also an option, though the muffins may turn out slightly more dense.
- STORAGE – Store muffins in airtight container at room temperature; muffins best enjoyed within 3 days.
- FREEZE – Cool completely and place them in a large plastic freezer storage bag, seal tight, label, date and freeze for up to 1 month. Grab one out of the freezer for a quick grab-and-go breakfast and thaw to room temperature.
- DAIRY-FREE – Make sure to use dairy-free/vegan friendly chocolate chips and peanut butter chips as needed.
- Nutrition info approximate, calculated with chocolate chips.
