Clean Eating: Chocolate Muffins

I wanted to make something sweet for Valentine's Day, but didn't want a total splurge. I decided to give a clean dessert recipe a shot and the result was pretty freakin delicious. These muffins are gluten free, clean and low fat. Pretty impressive. 

The best part? Everything is thrown in the blender and mixed away. So easy! 

Ingredients (Printable Recipe)

1 3/4 cup Oats 3 Egg Whites 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar (I used 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice) 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda 1/4 tsp Salt 1 cup Hot Water 1/2 cup Coconut Sugar or another Sugar Substitute 1/2 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips or Grain Sweetened Carob Chips

Blend all ingredients except the chocolate chips until smooth. Pour into a bowl and stir in half of the chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, then sprinkle the other half of the chocolate chips on the top and bake an additional 5 minutes. 

I used paper muffin liners, which stuck a little bit. I would suggest foil liners, or simply spraying the muffin tins. 

Now pour yourself a glass of milk (almond milk in my case) and enjoy!
