Great light treat for when you're having a chocolate craving. I made exactly as written and they came out fine but my batter only made 12 as well (not 14).

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:)

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).
