Ingredients

unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup / 125 ml
each all-purpose and whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup / 125 ml
brown sugar
2 tbsp / 30 ml
ground flax
1 1/2 tsp / 15 ml

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners or grease well.

  2. Stir the cocoa with the all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, sugar, ground flax, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the egg whites, yogurt, prunes and oil in a separate bowl. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture just until combined. Fold in 1/4 cup (50 mL) chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).

  3. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 20 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.
