Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (medium)
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (5%)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp rice oil (or another mild oil)

  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • vanilla
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • powdered sugar

Tools

  • Molds mini bundt cake
  • Piping Bags

Steps

  • Pour the sifted flour, baking powder, and vanilla into a bowl; mix and set aside.

  • In another bowl, pour the brown sugar and eggs; briefly mix with a hand whisk or a fork.

  • Add the milk (preferably not cold from the fridge).

  • Pour in the oil and give a brief stir.

  • Finally, add the Greek yogurt and mix everything.

  • Pour the dry ingredients into the liquids and also add the chocolate chips.

  • Mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated into the liquids; this way, we ensure the final product will be soft.

  • Place the batter in a disposable piping bag, cut the tip, and fill the molds.

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F if fan-forced or 355°F static for 20/22 minutes. Use the toothpick test; they should not color too much, or they will become hard. Once cooled, unmold and decorate as desired with a little powdered sugar or leave them plain.
