Tips for Making Healthy Chocolate Chip Muffins
- You can use less sugar when you put chocolate chips into these muffins, the sugar isn’t really necessary as the chocolate chips are sweet enough.
- You can store these muffins for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Place them into an airtight plastic bag, vacuum-sealed if possible to keep air from getting into your muffins or mini loaves.
- If you don’t want applesauce, you can replace it with oil, but the applesauce truly helps this be a healthier recipe and much fluffier in texture.
Common Questions About Muffins
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about our yummy muffins:
How do you keep muffins from getting soggy?
Allow your muffins to cool for about an hour on a wire rack. Get a large airtight container and place a paper towel on the bottom of your container. Now you may put your muffins in a single layer on the paper towel inside this container. If you need to do any additional layers of muffins in this airtight container, be sure to separate each layer with a new paper towel. Storing your healthy chocolate chip muffins like this will ensure that your muffins don’t get soggy.
Why did my muffins sink in the middle?
Muffins usually sink in the middle if you’ve overbeaten them during the mixing process. When too much air gets into your healthy chocolate chip muffins mix, due to over mixing, you’ll find that your muffins end up sinking in the middle after baking.
