Thanks! Half the teachers up at the school do WW points, so these will make a good treat if they taste soooooooo good! They do sound a bit icky, but I'm willing to take your word and give them a try! I even have all the ingredients in my pantry. Besides, I always figure anything chocolate can't be all bad!

I forgot to ask if you have any other nutrition info than the points? For teachers who aren't doing the WW points. Thanks!

Mindy, that sounds good..chocolate and fiber making it healthy.

And welcome to the CF!

I'm not on weight watchers but I should be. They do come up with some really great recipes. When I find them I use them.

THANKS!

I've made these muffins MANY times; but without choc chips. I just added the can of pumpkin and about 1/4 c of water.....mixed well and using my ice cream scoop, scooped the batter into muffin liners and baked them.

NOTE - mix well or they will be gritty.

I have to say, they are incredible.

Another one is to get a box of angel food cake mix and add crushed pineapple, mix and bake according to box directions. I know many of us dont like to use box mixes but for those who dont' mind, this is also yummy.

Good Luck Dieters!

Hmmmmm..... nutrition vs. WW points. Why not just bake some oatmeal cookies w/ wheat flour and add some chocolate chips.... and eat just one?

I don't know what the nutrition facts are as DD got the recipe copied from her future MIL. I lost the website where you stick in your recipe and it gives you the nutrition facts when my computer crashed and I lost all my favorites so if anybody has it I would love to find it back.

I'll try it - I bought a ton of box cake mixes when they were $1 a piece. I found this info - I guess it varies depending on what box mix but should be about right:

Yum Yum Brownie Muffins
(1 Muffin, or 3 minis - 180 calories, 2.5g fat, 37 carbs, 2.5g, fiber, 2.5g protein - 3 WW points)

This super-simple 2-ingredient recipe is a Weight Watchers Fave!

1 box devilÂs food cake mix
1 can solid pack pumpkin (15 oz.)

Directions:
Mix the two ingredients together. Don't add anything else that may be mentioned on the box, such as eggs, oil, or water. The mixture will be very thick and you will be tempted to add in other things to make the batter smoother. DO NOT DO THIS AS IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING! Place batter into muffin tins (or mini muffin tins) lined with paper, or sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Makes 12 regular or 36 mini muffins.

I another good add in for chocolate cake is pureed beets.

Thanks, Minsue!

Thanks maggie2094, That looks a little more complete than what Jordan scribbled down

I made these today and oh my were they good. Perfect choc. fix for someone counting points.

LOL! I only wish I had your will power :-)

Hmmmm.....DH would appreciate a low fat treat.

Thanks Mindy for posting this recipe and thanks Maggie for the clarification.

I picked up a reduced sugar cake mix to try this recipe. Haven't made it yet. We're eating low-carb right now so even this isn't on the list.

Here is a link that might be useful: Reduced sugar cake mix.

I made these two days ago. They really are yummy and they satisfy a sweet tooth.

With regard to eating one oatmeal cookie, healthy as it may be, it just doesn't satisfy that sweet tooth or have the bulk like one of these cupcakes. It takes longer to eat the cupcake and you really feel like you are getting a good serving of sweetness. And, as they say, with the cookie, --I can't eat just one. (I re-a-l-ly can't!)

?? Mine rose. Almost double in size.
