Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 Cup White Whole Wheat Flour 126g
  • ½ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ Cup Truvia
  • ½ Cup + 2 Tbsp Vanilla Greek yogurt
  • ½ Cup Honey
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • ¼ Cup + 2 tbsp Unsweetened Vanilla almond milk
  • ½ Cup Mini chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling
  • For the filling:
  • ¼ Cup + 2 Tbsp reduced-fat Cream Cheese softened
  • 2 Tbsp Truvia

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and Truvia until well mixed.
  • In a separate, large bowl whisk together ½ Cup + 2 Tbsp of the Greek yogurt, honey, egg, vanilla extract and almond milk.
  • Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips to the wet ingredients, and still until just moistened, being careful not to over-mix.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and Truvia until well mixed.
  • Fill the muffin tins only ½ of the way full, making small depressions in the center of the batter. Drop ½ Tbsp of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin, and lightly press down to flatten it. Cover with a spoon of remaining batter and gently spread to cover the cream cheese. Your muffin tin should only be able ¾ of the way full, or else your muffins will be too big and flatten *
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17-18 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake these as they go from perfect to dry quickly.
  • Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 mins and then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
