Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour 126g
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 1/4 cup truvia sweetener
  • 10 tablespoons Greek yogurt vanilla
  • 1/2 cup honey natural
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons almond milk unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling
For the filling:
  • 6 tablespoons cream cheese softened at room temperature, reduced-fat
  • 2 tablespoons truvia sweetener

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a muffin tray with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and Truvia until well mixed.
  3. In a separate, large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, and the honey, egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet ingredients, and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and Truvia until well mixed.
  6. Fill each muffin cup only half of the way full, and make a small depression in the center of the batter. Drop 1/2 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin. Cover with a spoonful of the remaining batter and gently spread to cover the cream cheese. Your muffin tray cups should only be about 3/4 of the way full, or else your muffins will be too big and flatten.
  7. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17 to 18 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake these as they go from perfect to dry quickly.
  8. Let muffins cool in the muffin tray for 10 minutes and then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
