½ cup packed light brown sugar

½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 tablespoons (1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°. Coat 9 muffin tins with cooking spray.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Separate the egg, placing the whites in a medium bowl and the yolk in a large bowl. Set the whites aside. Add the brown sugar, applesauce, and vanilla to the yolk. Mix with a wooden spoon until well blended. Add the flour mixture and stir until well combined.
With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the whites until soft peaks form. Add to the batter along with 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips. Stir until well blended.
Divide batter equally among 9 muffin tins. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
