How to Make Weight Watcher Chocolate Muffins
Step 1 Preheat oven to 350F
Step 2 Use a hand mixer or food processor to combine all of the ingredients (except for your optional mix-ins) until well blended. The batter should be smooth with no lumps. Fold in a handful of chocolate chips or walnuts with a spatula.
Recipe Tip: Mash ripe bananas with a fork if you don't have a food processor.
Step 3 Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to fill 6 cupcake liners evenly to the top. These muffins will not rise like regular muffins, so don’t worry about filling them too high.
Step 4 Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Let cool, and enjoy. Serving Size: 1 muffin
Pro Tips for Chocolate Muffins
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor without adding a lot of extra Points.
- Do not overmix the batter. Stir just until the ingredients are combined to help keep the muffins light and tender.
- For extra chocolate flavor, add a few mini chocolate chips to the batter. Just be sure to account for the additional Points.
- Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups so all of the muffins are about the same size.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps prevent them from sticking or falling apart.
Serving Suggestions
These WW Chocolate Muffins make an easy breakfast, snack, or little chocolate treat when you're craving something sweet. Serve one with fresh berries, strawberries, or banana for a simple breakfast.
They are also great with a cup of coffee or tea. For a more filling snack, pair a muffin with Greek yogurt or another high-protein option.
Storage and Freezing
Store leftover chocolate muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated for up to 1 week.
To freeze, let the muffins cool completely and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw individual muffins at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
Recipe FAQS
Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container.
