100 Calorie Chocolate Orange Muffins
This was my 4th attempt at this recipe and I have finally perfected it – the 100 calorie chocolate orange muffin!
I came to the conclusion that in order to have a truly delicious chocolate-y muffin, you need to use actual chocolate. My attempts using only cocoa powder tasted nice but not blog-worthy nice.
Thankfully, only a small amount of chocolate was needed which gives these muffins an amazing flavour without adding tons of calories!
My motivation for this is partly because of all the amount of baking I do, and consequential eating of said bakes, the calories do add up. So this is essentially my idea of a bit of “damage control.”
Fun fact: If you ate the entire batch of these muffins, you would still be well within your daily calorie limit. I don’t suggest this, of course (seriously, don’t.) But it’s fun to think about…
Anyway, enough about calories. These are delicious muffins in any case scenario! Spongy, moist, zingy, chocolate-y perfection.
