Low Fat, Whole Wheat Vegan Double Chocolate Brownie Muffins Recipe

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Recipe

So these babies are whole wheat (vegan of course) and the only fat in them comes from the cocoa and chips! They are so frickin' amazing you will wonder how you've lived without them. Honestly! The best part? They freeze like rockstars and reheat to utter perfection... but you know you'll make a batch, burn your mouths off eating them straight out of the oven... and then accidentally forget to freeze any for later. At least, that's what happens to me every time I make these... ;)

Description

These little tasty treats are the cross between a brownie and a muffin and oh so good. They also freeze and reheat beautifully. Chef's Note: For brownie cupcakes, smear with smooth peanut butter, ricemellow or fat-free vanilla icing made by mixing confectioners sugar with a splash of vanilla non-dairy milk and a few drops of vanilla extract.
