Skinny Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins


Since I love muffins, and they aren't that good for you, I usually try and make my muffins using applesauce instead of oil. These are great!

1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1 egg white, beaten
2/3 cup diced strawberries
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray 10 muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, gently toss the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and applesauce until together until no brown sugar lumps remain – a fork works well to break up the brown sugar here.   Add the beaten egg white until fully incorporated.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry until *just* combined – do not overmix.  Fold in the strawberries and chocolate chips. Divide the batter evenly between 10 muffin tins.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.  Muffins will be lightly golden in color and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
