If I have some banana’s looking like they are on their way out you can bet it’s going to be a baking day! I was in the mood for muffins…and chocolate, because let’s face it, when I am not in the mood for chocolate 😉 These double chocolate muffins are delicious, full of chocolate flavor and nice and moist.

If I substituted Stevia, would it change the point value at all?
Hi, I don’t use stevia so I am not aware of points in it, there is 5pp in the 1/4 cup sugar..
Hi Kate,
If I started making your muffins in mini pans, do you think they would now be 2SP? instead of the 5SP?
Hi Lisa, I think that would be a good guess.. Most mini muffins I have made come out to 2 sp
These are my favorite! I make them almost every week. I am on the WW plan, and they are 3 points for me.
I don’t understand why they need to be refrigerated- they don’t have yogurt in them?
