Choco-Chocolate Chip Muffins

Oh my goodness.  These little chocolate chip muffins are a favorite in our house.  I make them multiple times a week – and why not?  They aren’t too bad for you – only 3 SmartPoints on Weight Watchers Freestyle – and they are oh so chocolatey.  You know you have a winner when these are requested by your husband.

Did you know that 16 Ghirardelli chocolate chips are only 4 points?  So, I thought what if I spread those chocolate chips into a chocolate muffin.  What would happen?  Well, deliciousness, obviously.

Choco-Chocolate Chip MuffinsMaking these muffins are so easy too.

to make these choco-chocolate chip muffins:

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together – flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

In a smaller bowl, stir together the wet ingredients – water, applesauce, apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract.  Mix these 2 bowls together (I put everything in the big bowl).

Next comes the best part.  Add in the amount of chocolate chips you decide to add.  I put about 16-20 in my batter.  *Depending on how many you add, this could affect your SmartPoints amount.

After you have stirred in your chocolate chips, pour the batter into a prepared muffin pan.

Cook these babies for about 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Allow them to cool when they are done cooking – I know, I know…it’s hard to do!  Enjoy!

Who knew a chocolate treat could be healthy?
