Source of Recipe

Krystine's Healthy Gourmet Cookbook


List of Ingredients

3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup fructose or table sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup egg substitute
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup oat bran
1 1/2 cups finely shredded carrots
1 cup chocolate chips


Recipe

Taste just like chocolate cake; the carrots and oat bran are undetectable. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon; set aside. In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil, egg whites, applesauce, and oat bran with an electric mixer until well combined. Stir in flour mixture until combined, about 1 minute. Fold in carrots and chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin centers comes out clean. Turn out muffins onto a wire rack to cool. Makes 12.
