Low Fat Chocolate Muffin



Made these two times now. It taste very moist due to the yogurt added and used only 1/4 cup (60ml) oil for 16 muffins. Although so little oil is used, it didnt feel dense like other muffin did so I will probably tweak around this recipe for my other muffins. I used chee kueh mould and was able to get 8 out of half of the recipe and added in some wheat germ. Initially the wheat germ was bought for my hamsters but i bought the honey crunch ones instead of raw ones so....i had to somehow finish it.



Make 16
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup milk (i used yogurt instead of milk because my yogurt it homemade and therefore more watery)
1/2 cup yogurt
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (i omitted this)
1/2 cup white chocolate,chopped (i omitted this)

1) Mix eggs, milk, yogurt and vanilla essence together.
2) In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3) Stir in chocolate chips and white chocolate in the dry mixture.
4) Stir in the wet mixture until just mix. (note: do not overmix, ie stir for too long)
5) Bake at 175C (375F) for 20 minutes.

note:
- i used full yogurt instead of 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup yogurt.
- i omitted any chocolate chips added.
1 cup = 250ml
1 cup of flour = 125g
