Red Velvet Weight Watchers Muffins Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
– 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
– 1/2 cup sugar substitute
– 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
– 1 tablespoon red food coloring
– Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray or liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, sugar substitute, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and red food coloring. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
