Baking time will vary, depending on the flour and oil/applesauce you use. If you don’t want to heat your oven for just one muffin, you can make this in the microwave! Just grease/spray a little dish, pour batter in, heat for 90-ish seconds, and enjoy!

Guilt-free Chocolate Truffles

These creamy, chocolaty truffles taste truly decadent, but are shockingly low-calorie. 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup quality chocolate chips (such as Ghirardelli 60% Cacao)
• 1 tablespoon natural almond butter or peanut butter
• 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek Yogurt
• 1/3 cup quality unsweetened cocoa powder (such as Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa Powder)

Directions:

1. Melt chocolate chips in microwave at 20-second intervals or in a double-boiler for about 4 minutes until completely melted. While chocolate is still warm, stir in almond butter and mix until well incorporated. Carefully fold in Greek yogurt, mix well, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes, until mixture starts to harden.
2. Working with about 1 tablespoon at a time, form truffles, roll in unsweetened cocoa powder, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
