Looked picture perfect out of the oven! Added an extra 1/2 cup of the miniature chocolate chips!

This is a good recipe for when you're craving chocolate but don't want a whole lot of calories.

These were great, however I did make a few changes. I used 2% milk in place of the buttermilk. I also mixed the chocolate chips into the batter and had no problem with them sticking to the pan - also sprinkled chocolate chips on top. The biggest change I made was I added a bit more flour, and poured the mixture into jumbo muffin pans. Tasted just like a jumbo muffin without all the fat and calories! Recipe made 6. Will absolutely make again, my hubby had no clue that they were a healthier version of a family favorite!

These came out great and they are a pefect lower fat chocolate dessert. I didn't have any mini chips on hand, so I used larger sized chips and chopped them up a bit. Delicious!

Very yummy:) I might try sprinkling chips on the top next time I make this. I put more mini chips in mine as well:)

This is a wonderful recipes! Whenever I get a craving for chocolate I go to this recipe! Very easy to make. I also mix my chocolate chips with the flour mixture and have no trouble with the chip sticking to the bottom of my pan! My husband even loves these!!

Fabulous cupcakes. Had the same problem as some others, though, with the chocolate chips falling to the bottom. They stuck to the pan and made a horrible mess. Wonder what would happen if I melted the chips first?

These were absolutely delicious! Everyone in the family agreed, and couldn't believe they're light. Very easy to make, too. Just a note: my batter made 12 average-sized cupcakes (not 14, as the recipe says).
