Low-Sugar Chocolate Chip Muffin

Chocolate chip muffin is a delicious muffin. And this one is low sugar healthy, so you’ll be happy you are doing something healthy for your body while eating an enjoyable sweet-ish bite.

Because this low-sugar healthy chocolate chip muffin is no-guilt when you mix in high fiber and B vitamin-rich bran wheat flour.

For a wholesome breakfast muffin, you can use your healthy flour of choice (gluten or gluten-free) or a combination of both like in the recipe below.👇

I find a mix is best: gluten (bran wheat) flour adds texture rise to the bake, and non-gluten (oat) is less inflammatory keeping rises low in the body.

It’s a good healthy meets happy mix.

That blend mix suits my life story of evolved healthy adult self desires from tasty happy food hotel and restaurant catering root beginnings. 😊

And in home baking, you have a choice to make this chocolate chip muffin recipe with egg or without egg (where applesauce is a great healthy add-in substitute).

Applesauce is an easy sub in brownies and muffins. And the first time I subbed in applesauce to muffins, I knew I found a keeper…

I saw no real difference in the final bake and yet knew I was making a light and healthy bake to support good health.

And also supporting health, is low sugar and choice of sugar.

Maple syrup sweetness is a cool choice. It’s a healthy one that dietitians recommend.

…And it’s also cooling to the body (good for a warm or Pitta day).

A tablespoon of maple syrup is around 14 grams of sugar, and when you divide it into half-a-dozen muffins, then it’s low sugar.

I compare that to low sugar cookies.

…Except with a muffin, you can eat just one!

That keeps it low sugar, and sugar is one ingredient you can always control and add later after the bake fact.

You can always add a zhugh sweet (topping) glaze or frosting… or a healthy dash of sweet anti-inflammatory cinnamon.

…And to complement the healthy recipe, light olive oil is added as the healthy fat.

Light olive oil is one of my favorite choices (as the fat) for baking because you don’t get the savory tasting olive oil characteristics and you reap the Mediterranean diet healthy benefits.

Fat slows down carbs and blood sugar spikes that anti-inflammatory foods support.

Along those healthy lines with a low glycemic index, you can add a ‘lil balancing apple cider vinegar that will also help activate the baking soda for the magical oven rise and texture…

…Because technically you don’t have to bake this gloppy batter without eggs, as it’s safe and will edibly hold up on its own…. so you could make energy balls or no-bake muffins if you don’t bake these.

Your choice…

But one thing you don’t wanna omit in the steps is adding the chocolate tastes.🍫

A chocolate chip muffin is NOT complete without fun chocolate chips that are easy to fold in.

Chocolate morsels work best since they won’t melt in the oven, so they give a nice morsel bite every time. 🍪 …I’ve never had a chocolate morsel that wasn’t good.

It’s such a simple ingredient that continues to put on smiles when you bite into one. 😋 And you’ll be doing that soon enough with this easy recipe…
