Less than 100 Calorie Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Muffins!

I saw pictures of a chocolate-chocolate chip muffin on Pinterest.  I'd click the link, and I couldn't find the recipe, but I finally found it!  The recipe I'm sharing today I found on this website.  It claims this is a 95 calorie muffin.  It looks good, but how does it taste.  I decided to give it a try.

I saw pictures of a chocolate-chocolate chip muffin on Pinterest.  I'd click the link, and I couldn't find the recipe, but I finally found it!  The recipe I'm sharing today I found on this website.  It claims this is a 95 calorie muffin.  It looks good, but how does it taste.  I decided to give it a try.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup	Oats
3	Egg whites
3/4 cup	Unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup	Unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp	Vanilla extract
1/2 cup	Plain greek yogurt (or regular plain low fat yogurt)
1/2 tsp	Cream of tartar (or 2 tsp. vinegar)<-I was nervous to try vinegar, so I used cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp	Baking powder
1 1/2 tsp	Baking soda
1/4 tsp	Salt
1 cup	Hot water
1/2 cup	Baking stevia OR 1 cup sweetener of choice that measures like sugar
1/2 cup	Semi-sweet chocolate chips Makes 16 cupcakes-about 95 calories each (depending on the calories in your ingredients)

I used cupcake liners, because they do stick.  I used foil and paper, but I did not notice a big difference.  You will also need a blender or food processor.  My blender worked just fine, and it's nothing special.

1. Preheat the over to 350.
2. Mix all of your ingredients in the blender EXCEPT for the chocolate chips.

3. Blend until the mixture is smooth and oats are ground up.

4. Pour mixture into a bowl to stir in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips (or all 1/2 cup chocolate chips if you don't want to put chocolate chips on top).  Pouring into a bowl is recommended because when I did it in the blender to avoid getting a bowl dirty, some of the chocolate chips went below the blender blade, and was difficult to get out to put int he muffin pan.

5. Pour mixture into the muffin pan (with cupcake liners, or without if desired-but greased).  Do not fill to the top or they will overflow.  This mixture made 16 cupcakes with my pan.

6. Cook for 10 minutes. Take out and add the rest of the chocolate chips (1/4 cup) to the top of the muffins.  Continue cooking for 2-5 minutes.

My oven took longer, and I even raised it to 350, but it is definitely my oven.  It's like that with all recipes.  It's important to know what your oven is like.  When they are finished, they are quite tasty warm, but let them cool before putting them in a container, or you will have melting chocolate chips (which isn't so bad).

To me these are not too sweet.  If you use a different sweetener, you may have different results.  At 95 calories and relatively healthy ingredients, they are definitely worth a try, especially if you already have the ingredients at home!
