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).

I thought they were a bit dry and could have used more chocolate chips.

Try putting a scant tablespoon of flour into a plastic bag, add choc chips and SHAKE! Coating the chips with flour will keep them from falling to the bottom of the batter.

Very easy recipe. It was great with the cupcakes cut in half horizonally

and then filled with Fat-Free Coolwhip and fresh strawberries. Very

good.

These cupcakes are delicious, easy to make, and guilt-free. The only problem I had was the chocolate chips sank to the bottom and stuck to the pan. Other than that, they were a hit with my family.

These cupcakes are wonderful!!! The first evening while they were still warm I sprinkled some confectionery sugar on them - they do not need frosting. I cut them in half and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on them and a bit of chocolate syrup (like a brownie sundae). Heavenly!! Thank you for this recipe - I will make these many times in the future. Flora Haff-Cranmer, Bath, NY

My whole family enjoys these cupcakes. Sometimes they are not too fussy for healtier sweets. But these got a thumbs up.
