These 1 Point Chocolate Chip Muffins are soft, sweet, and full of chocolatey goodness—without the guilt! Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even a treat to pack in your lunch. Plus, they’re easy to make and come in at just 1 point per muffin on most WW plans.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for added fiber)
- 1/2 cup granulated sweetener (like Stevia or Monk Fruit, to reduce sugar)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (as a fat substitute)
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 large egg (or an egg substitute for fewer points)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (use a lower-calorie variety if you prefer)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop & Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
WW Points (Approximate):
- SmartPoints: These muffins are around 1 point per muffin on most WW plans! The exact points can vary based on the specific sweetener and milk you use, but they’re generally low in points while still being delicious.
Pro Tips:
- Adjust Sweetness: If you like your muffins sweeter, feel free to adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste.
- Add-ins: You can add a handful of nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor—just remember to adjust the points if you add extra ingredients.
- Storage: These muffins keep well for a few days in an airtight container, or you can freeze them for later. Simply thaw them in the microwave or let them sit at room temperature.
These 1 Point Chocolate Chip Muffins are the perfect treat when you need something sweet and satisfying, all while staying on track with your WW plan. They’re a guilt-free way to enjoy chocolate, and you’ll love how easy they are to whip up!
