Let’s have a nice portion controlled, very tasty chocolate brownie cupcake.  Not so bad huh?  I eat mine with a few raspberries on the side, and maybe a sprinkle of salt.  I love salt on all kinds of chocolate.  Best 100 calories of my day!

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 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 applesauce instead of oil.  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!

  2. Are these muffins 125 calories or 98 calories? Could u pls clear this? And is there a subtitle for Apple sauce and brown sugar? Which flour do we have to use?

    • 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.

  3. 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?
