I was looking for a lowfat, lower carb treat for me and my DH. This fit the bill very nicely. It was very easy to make. I used whole wheat pastry flour and reduced the Splenda brown sugar to 1/2 c. as my applesauce was sweetened and chunky - it made for nice apple chunks in the muffins. I used the full 6 tbsp. of cocoa and was glad I did - they had a nice chocolate flavor. Will definitely make these again. Thanks Annacia for posting.

What a great muffin Anna-. Really moist and oooo so chocolatey. I used the bittersweet chocolate morsels as you suggested and also used 2 T. of dark cocoa and 3 T. of regular cocoa. I cut back just a bit on the splenda brown sugar. These are plenty sweet and so I"m glad I did. Such decandence for a LF muffin. Thanks for the recipe. Made for Diabetes Awareness Month - Nov. 08'.
