Lower Fat Chocolate Chip Muffins
Serves: 24 muffins. | Prep Time: 18 min | Cook Time: 15-25 min
Ingredients
- 16 oz pitted prunes
- 3/4 c warm water
- 1 (18.25 oz) box Better Batter Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1/2 c chocolate chips
- 1/4 c chocolate chips
- 1/4 c butter or df margarine
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 24 muffin tins with liners.
Combine Ingredients. In a blender, combine the prunes and water until smooth. Measure out two cups of this puree (it should be almost the whole amount). Pour/spoon into a medium bowl. Add the chocolate cake mix and stir until smooth and well combined. Add the 1/2 c chocolate chips and blend together until smooth and well combined.
Measure 2 tbsp of batter into each muffin tin. Repeat the process until all 24 tins are evenly filled with batter.
Bake for 15-25 minutes or until the cakes are cooked and spring back when lightly touched. Allow to cool completely.
Glaze: melt chocolate chips and butter or margarine together in a small, shallow microwave safe container for about 1 minute, stirring to ensure the mixture is smooth.
Dip the tops of the muffins in the glaze and set aside until the glaze thickens.
