Chocolate Yogurt Cupcakes

Photo: Ruchi Mathur

Ingredients

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup oil (canola or olive)

1/2 cup yogurt

1 small jar Heinz pear baby food (thats the only pureed fruit I had lying around)

1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg (optional)

cup small chocolate chips (on my son's insistence!)

Preparation

Beat the oil and sugar together. Add egg and beat till fluffy. (I used a wooden spoon for all my mixing and definitely do not over mix.

Then add the yogurt and the pear puree and beat well for a couple of minutes or use your electric mixer.

Now to this add the dry ingredients - bit by bit (sifted mixture of the two flours and cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder).

In the end add the chocolate chips.

Bake for 20 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 177 F.

I must say they tasted great warm with a slight drizzle of low fat cream mixed with some cocoa powder and a spoonful of icing sugar! Cold - they were not that great - so maybe I will try it again without the whole wheat flour.
