Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups (240g) whole wheat or gluten-free* flour (measured like this)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp (11g) ground ginger*
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground cloves
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
• 2 large egg whites, room temperature
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup (180g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup (60mL) molasses
• ¼ cup (60mL) pure maple syrup
• 6 tbsp (90mL) nonfat milk
• ¼ cup (56g) miniature chocolate chips, divided

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9x5” loaf pan with foil, and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and next 7 ingredients (through salt). In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, egg whites, and vanilla. Stir in the yogurt, mixing until no large lumps remain. Stir in the molasses and maple syrup. Alternate between adding the flour mixture and milk to the yogurt mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture, and stirring just until incorporated. (For best results, add the flour in 3 equal parts.) Fold in 3 ½ tablespoons of chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan, and gently press the remaining chocolate chips into the top. Bake at 325°F for 45-55 minutes or until the top feels firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting out by the foil and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
