Enlightened Chocolate Chip Muffins

Today I made these muffins using a recipe from

Diabetic Cooking May/June 2009

Place dry ingredients in a bowl.

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powdered (I used dark cocoa)

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

Whisk these ingredients together.

Place wet ingredients in another bowl.

1 cup fat-free milk

1 egg (slightly beaten)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 Tbsp. butter (melted)

1 tsp. vanilla

After mixing wet ingredients together, pour into dry ingredients.

Fold in 2/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Bake for 13-15 minutes at 400 degrees.  Makes 12

Recipe says to use foil cupcake liners and I think

they wouldn't stick as much.
