Chocolate Cupcakes
"You won't believe that these are low fat! The cupcakes are extremely moist and do not need frosting. Don't let the pumpkin scare you, these are delicious! 1 1/2 points per cupcake."

There are so soft and fluffy.I love them -
made these today and frosted with chocolate butter cream frosting (so ok, they were no longer low fat :-) but oh so yummy!! the recipe made 19 cupcakes, very rich and dense brownie like. -
I am not a sweets person at all but today I needed a pick up...I spotted the chocolatty cup cakes at our work cafe' and found out they were these, WOW, what a rich moist gooey wonder...and no frosting at all!!! I was hooked and now am going to make them too thanks to the recipe here on this site. I was surprise to find it contained pumpkin. I have used applesauce or puree prune, but this is by far the best YUM -
Delicious! My husband, who doesn't even care for desserts, loved these cupcakes. We couldn't even tell there was pumpkin in it. They come out nice and moist. I had to cook these for 30-35 minutes. The recipe made 20 cupcakes.

I also used 1/2 cup of water and threw in 1 1/2 tsp of cocoa powder. I folded in some peanut butter chips and frosted with chocolate buttercream frosting. I doubt they were very low fat after my additions but dang were they tasty!!!

I made this in a cake pan and it turned out great! Very moist. I also tried it with a spice cake instead of devils food, and it was fantastic.

<p>I live in Northern Indiana with my husband of 37 years and best friend, Evan. Due to unfortunate circumstances and God's grace, we are raising our two beautiful grandchildren from our daughter, Chris, who lost her battle with breast cancer after a hard, four year battle. It is a responsibility that I do not take lightly. God has blessed us with these kids and it is an honor to be able to raise them. That's not to say, it's easy. Organization is the key. We do lots of meal planning and advance preparation. <br /><br />Evan & I enjoy eating out at fine restaurants and then trying to re-create gourmet meals at home. Unfortunately (?) we are such good cooks that we are usually disappointed when eating out because we know that what we prepare tastes better (and less expensive). Therefore, we usually only order something that we haven't made at home. <br /><br />We love to cook together and spend many hours cooking for family and friends. Quite honestly, Evan is the better cook in the family. He has a knack for knowing what flavors and spices blend well together and has created many original creations. <br /><br />I love to find and try out new recipes - which is why I visit Recipezaar often. We've added many of your shared recipes to my public cookbook titled Permanent Edition. I only post recipes that are our favorites and feel that others will enjoy them. I look for ease of preparation AND outstanding flavor. If I post a recipe that's a little more work, it's because the end result deserves the extra effort. <br /><br />If we had a month off with no work, no responsibilities, and no financial issues; we'd spent time on the ocean in Oregon. My husband grew up in Seattle and spent summers at Cannon Beach (Oregon). I've only been there twice but absolutely love the area. <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/vjuhl/MEPcookathon.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img alt= /><br />src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt= /></p>
