Chocolate Chip Muffins Directions:
- Prepare muffin tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners and lightly grease them with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cream mixture: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to combine applesauce and sweetener until well mixed, about two minutes.
- Add eggs and ingredients: Beat in eggs until combined. Add baking powder, salt, and vanilla, mixing briefly.
- Incorporate flour: Add half of the flour and mix until just combined. Then add almond milk, stirring to combine.
- Add remaining flour: Scrape the bowl's sides and add the remaining flour, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Add chocolate chips and gently fold them in using a rubber spatula.
- Fill muffin tins: Divide the batter among 12 muffin cups. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and let the batter rest while it heats.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) after 7 minutes and monitor closely.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
