Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) before starting to ensure it’s ready when you need it.
-
In a large or medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: unbleached flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
Melt the butter or margarine together with the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30-40 seconds, checking after 30 seconds to ensure it’s melted completely. Stir well to combine.
-
Once melted, allow the mixture to cool for 1 minute before adding chocolate yogurt. Blend until the mixture thickens slightly.
-
Incorporate the sugar into the chocolate mixture and mix well. Transfer to a larger bowl if needed.
-
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, blending gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be sticky and thick.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the muffin batter until well incorporated, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
-
Spoon the batter evenly into muffin tins, filling each about 3/4 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re ready. If not, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
-
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the moist, chocolatey goodness of these delectable muffins!
