Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

These are GREAT! My version: 1/2 brown sugar & 6 Tbs fat free coca mix. I bought dark chocolate chips (30 mini chips were only 70 calories). I added the chips once the batter was in the cupcake holder (only 4 per cupcake). Got my calorie count to 88. Complaint: sticks to wrapper. need to freeze & MW Submitted by:

OUTSTANDING. This doesn't taste like any "diet" muffin. Tastes better than most full fat/sugar muffins. Wow. Submitted by:

Definitely use the Splenda brown sugar and the full 6 tbps of cocoa powder! Otherwise they're not quite sweet and chocolatey enough. Submitted by:

WARNING: These are so good you may over-induldge (I did) These are AWESOME!
I didn't have Splenda brown sugar, so I used regular. Also, I chopped up my oats in the Magic Bullet so I wouldn't have big oak flakes, then I only soaked them for about 30 - 35 minutes. Done after 14 min in oven. 		Submitted by:

Low fat, but not low carb. Which is fine, but I had searched "low carb." Submitted by:

Better than chocolate cake! I made these using quick oats, 2% milk, 1/2 C real brown sugar, 1 egg, and only 2/3 C mini chocolate chips. I divided the batter over 15 muffins instead of 12. My version had 134 calories per muffin. Submitted by:

Used the 1/2 c. real brown sugar suggestion from one reviewer, used 1 % milk, and added 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Made 20 muffins out of the mixture. Entered in another nutritional counter site, and got 95 cal per muffin. Pretty good! Submitted by:

Very good flavor and kept me full for longer. Made two substitutions... 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of Splenda and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chip minis and one whole egg. Changes were 119 cal, 3.7g fat, 20.5 carb, and 4.2g protein. Submitted by:

These are great! I added 1 mashed banana, only 1/2 cup regular brown sugar, 2 Tblsp ground flax and 1 tsp. vanilla and used the dark cocoa powder. I also only baked them for about 18 minutes. I'll be making these again! Submitted by:

I had been looking for a recipe to substitute for a very unhealthy (trans fat!) muffin that I loved and this one is even better! I've made it twice already and I'm going to be making it often from now on. Submitted by:

Amazing! I took some of the others advice and used 1/2 c real brown sugar, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1 egg, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla and they came out delicious! Definitely for dark chocolate lovers. My husband said they were ok but he only likes milk chocolate - I can't stop eating them! Submitted by:

This is great! Thank you for the Splenda instead of sugar; not only do we need to lose weight, my husband is diabetic so I'm always looking for recipes he can enjoy, too. Submitted by:

These sound good. I will substitute Lakanto for the sugar (a no-calorie sweetener made from Stevia and erythritol) and use a whole egg. These 2 changes probably won't raise the calories much more than the original recipe. Submitted by:

These muffins are very good. However, I did as some others suggested, and used half the chocolate chips, 1 whole egg, and 1/2cup brn sugar. I ended up with 14 muffins. If anyone buys the weightwatchers chocolate muffins..these are much better and more economical. I'll be making these again! Submitted by:

Amazing! Lowest fat as this is for me is best , without the egg yolks and lowest sugar too. I also tried it with some added ground flax because I need to always look for ways to get this in my diet, and I kept the Splenda, but halved the chips. Thanks so much. A real gem! Submitted by:

I always like to look at the ingredients used to calculate a recipe and noticed that this used real brown sugar, not Splenda. If you used Splenda, the calories would definitely be lower than calculated. You may want to recalculate or change ingredients list. Submitted by:

I made these last week and they are WONDERFUL! I had enough to take to my co-workers and share--they loved them too (and could not believe they were low fat)!! I did use regular eggs though (instead of just the whites)... Submitted by:
