In a medium bowl, combine the flours, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stirring until well blended and no lumps of brown sugar or cocoa remain. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk, canola oil, applesauce, egg and vanilla.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop large, round spoonfuls of batter 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment or sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the tops no longer appear wet and just spring back when lightly touched. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

I successfully made some low fat chocolate mint muffin tops this weekend. I edited a recipe I found and made it lighter. 3 Points plus per muffin. I feel when baking and trying to make things low fat, you still need some kind of fat in there. That is why I  used 1/8 cup of applesauce and 1/8 cup of canola oil. We had some left over egg substitute so that went in there as well. They turned out very yummy and the rest of them are going into the freezer so that we don’ t eat them all at once. :) Make these, you will be surprised at how good they still taste!

This recipe has 3 ingredients. Cornflakes, dried cherries and chocolate. It is so easy to make you can get it all done in 5 minutes. The hard part is to wait and let them cool so you can eat them.

I like these because it’s a mixture of crunch, sweet, and tart all in one bite. You could probably add any type of dried fruit to this and it would still be good. The calorie count for these ain’t bad either. This is another recipe from Martha Stewart’s latest magazine. Here is the nutrition info.
