Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • cooking spray

  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • ⅓ cup nonfat Greek yogurt

  • ¼ cup coconut oil

  • ½ cup sucralose-sugar blend for baking (such as Truvia® Baking Blend)

  • 2 large egg whites

  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

  • ½ cup pureed butternut squash

  • 1 ½ teaspoons almond extract

  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 ⅓ cups oat flour

  • ¼ cup miniature chocolate chips, divided


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

  2. Blend applesauce, Greek yogurt, and coconut oil together in a bowl using an electric mixer. Mix in sucralose-sugar blend until combined. Add egg whites and almond milk; blend until fluffy. Mix in butternut squash and almond extract. Add cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; mix to combine. Add oat flour slowly, mixing batter until no dry spots remain. Fold in about chocolate chips by hand, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.

  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan; sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the batter.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool in pan for 1 hour.

Cook's Note:

If you are not gluten-sensitive, whole wheat flour works too.
