This is a good base recipe, though I did need to make some changes to make it work: I cut the brown sugar in half, as well as the chocolate chips. I also needed to use mini chocolate chips, because the full-sized chips sank to the bottom and made quite a mess when eating. The batter as written is extremely thin, so I upped the WW flour to 1-1/4 cups. It may benefit from even a bit more dry ingredient, so 1/4 cup of ground flax seed would be a nice idea. With this increased dry amount, the muffins were still very moist. I used cow's milk, which worked nicely.
This recipe for chocolate muffins is absolutely wonderful. It's become our family favorite and I love that it's nutritious. These taste exactly like cupcakes, so that's often what I call them and the kids eat them as fast as I can make them. I add 1/4 c. oat bran to the dry ingredients because I find the batter to be very thin and the oat bran makes it a little easier to measure out. I also cut the sugar down as we try to reduce our sugar intake. Sometimes I use buttermilk instead of milk and it makes them taste a little richer, but otherwise there's no difference.
Amazing! These muffins are perfect just the way the are! Moist fluffy super yummy; I have also topped them with icing and called them cupcakes. Funny story: I forgot the milk and doubled the cocoa in one batch (yes the consistancy was different.....but that is usually the last thing on my radar whilst baking with toddlers....) and they were super delicious and even more fudgy. So now I choose between super yummy muffin super sinful fudgy dessert or beautiful chocolate cupcakes. Thank-you!!:)
These were very good and the kids claimed "tastes just like cupcakes". I used all purpose flour only because I was out of whole wheat. I had to add an extra 1/4 cup of mixed almond flour and flax seed and APF to make the batter less runny. As someone else suggested I swapped out the soy milk for lactose free milk and added vinegar to make a buttermilk. These were sweet and fluffy. Great recipe.
This was a great recipe! I just made a few tweaks: Didn t want to overmix the muffins so waited until the end to add the chocolate chips. I also saw the sugar content was 20 g so I cut the brown sugar and chocolate chips in half. My glasses were dirty after I spilled flour on them so I couldn t read the measure and put in 1/3 cup cocoa powder instead of cup. I didn t have soy milk so I used skim cow s milk. The only applesauce I could find had high fructose corn syrup so I put that aside and substituted nonfat unsweetened yogurt instead. After adding the first egg I realized I had to break it first so fished it out and tried again. I think I got the leavening and salt right. Added cup walnuts at the end to make it a little healthier. Added the oil after they started going into the muffin cups because I forgot it with the wet ingredients (canola oil didn t have grapeseed oil). I got a full dozen 6 mini muffins out of this recipe. I noticed that they came out nice on top but a little gooey on the bottom so I swapped the oven off the broil setting and put them on bake on the bottom shelf for a few more minutes. With the changes the muffins came down to 12 g of sugar and 158 calories each (13 muffins assumed) making them just healthy enough to eat when no one is looking. Meanwhile my family gobbled up the muffins and took away my car keys.
I made these.. my husband liked them so much.. he requested I make more... they are moist and they have a very chocolaty flavor
Delicious! I m not sure if I would consider them healthy with a whole cup of sugar. Substituted vegetable oil and cows milk and added a small amount of extra flour. Batter is thin but makes it easier to measure out evenly. Made 18 muffins. Definitely make again.
It’s very good but really runny as batter. You definitely need to add more flour. I added about another 1/4 cup and if I make it again I’ll probably add more. The kids and everyone really love the flavor though.
I wouldnt say healthy but definitely delicious! We called them Brownie Muffins. Cut the chocolate chips down to 1/2 cup and add some fruit. Maybe they would then be healthier.
