These 100 Calorie Double CHhocolate Brownie Cupcakes will be your go to healthy brownie recipe!  So easy to make and perfectly portion controlled!

100 Calorie Double Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes

All this healthy eating, no sugar stuff has got me in a rut and quite frankly, I’m just a little bit cranky.

I don’t want to go off the rails with a half gallon of gelato or anything  (okay…I do), but I need a little something!  I mean a girl has to live right?

Luckily, I found these very yummy  healthy  brownie cupcakes…tweaked them a little to add some flavor and boom!  Got me some serious chocolaty goodness that won’t break the calorie bank!

Coffee intensifies the chocolate flavor- though,you won’t taste it.  A lot like my Best Chocolate Cake with Ganache recipe (this is not figure friendly I might add – but when you need something special…OMG, OMG, OMG!  You gotta make this), the coffee just kicks up the chocolate taste and adds richness without compromising the healthy factor.

The secret ingredients are the coffee to kick up the chocolate flavor and apple cider vinegar.  No egg makes for a denser cupcake, more like a brownie, not to mention it reduces the calories.

So 12 muffins at 108 calories each.  Thats 4 for breakfast, 4 for lunch and 4 for dinner!  A perfect 1200 calorie day!

Clink!

    So my basic math skills tell me that if I use Truvia Brown Sugar Mix (substitute) which is half the calories that I can turn them into 90 Calorie Brownies! Regular 1/2Cup Brown Sugar = 415- Truvia Brown Sugar 1/2Cup = 210. So If there are 12 servings and each 108 c, take 1,296c – 210 and then divide that by 12 and you get 90.5…. it’s only a 18c saving but still… I could have 2 for under 200c and I feel good about that lol

      Hi Lil! We switched the company that does the nutrition calculations and there is a small differential using the new and probably more accurate company. These are actually 108 calories. So sorry for the confusion and I truly appreciate your note! I have updated the nutrition info. Maybe I need to change the name to 108 Calorie Brownie muffins? UGH! I am not sure what you mean by a subtitle for apple sauce and brown sugar. The flour is regular white flour.

        I don’t understand about the applesauce. It’s not on the ingredient list and it’s not in the video. How much do you use?

          Hi Juliana – ok, I get what went wrong. It’s apple cider Vinegar not applesauce that is an ingredient. When I typed up the commentary spell check fixed what wasn’t broken. Sorry for the confusion!

    Made these and they were fantastic! No one guessed that they were low calorie 🙂 Thank you so much!

    Can these be made into a larger cake? If so what size pan should I be using and how much longer is the baking time?
