Serving:9 muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 packets CARNATION BREAKFAST ESSENTIALS® Rich Milk Chocolate High Protein Powder Drink Mix
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • ½ cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 9 muffin wells with cupcake liners or spray with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk powder drink mix, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk applesauce, yogurt, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in a separate large bowl. Add the flour mixture; mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until muffins spring back when touched, an additional 10 to 12 minutes.
The higher heat at the beginning of the bake yields the maximum rise in the muffins.
