Super Chocolate Weight Watchers 2 Point Muffins

Heathersmilez's Note:

These are on the small side and a little lumpy so may not be guest-worthy but they are super chocolaty and yummy! Feel free to substitute in your own bran-type cereal. I modified this recipe from Fibre 1 cereal to Corn bran because that’s what I had in the house!
