What a great way to minimize the fat in the muffins. Your substitutes sound very tasty!

Very nice job on the subs! A healthy muffin is always nice, especially when it’s tasty!

It’s so good to know that the low fat version of these muffins is just as tasty. As always, lovely photos!

Hey, way to go… de-fatting these muffins. I’ll bet your gym friends appreciated the effort.

Nice job lightening the muffins up. I did a little of that, too, but turned this recipe into a chocolate chip coffee cake (the chocolate probably outweighed the healthy subs!) Great post.

Your substitutions go well with the flavor profile of the muffins. I partially replace white flour with whole wheat in a lot of recipes so I can tell myself i’m being healthy

I SO wanted to make these this week, but I ended up being put on crutches for two weeks (grrr!) and then I went home for Thanksgiving weekend and didn’t make it back until Tuesday night. So no muffins for me. I will try them at the end of the month, though, since I won’t be making the cherry chocolate thingy.

I’m glad the healthier version worked well for you, and I may try that. One thing I am just discovering is pumpkin works like a charm in place of fat, and it has very little taste to it, too! I may try using pumpkin puree instead of applesauce in some things and see how that works.

Oh, and I love 2% chocolate milk. If I’m trying to be good but need a big chocolate fix, I’ll grab some of that. And if you want a REALLY good hot chocolate, use heated chocolate milk instead of hot water. Mmmmmmm.

And now I need a snack.
