Low Sugar Low Fat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Minis


Heather's Revamped Low Sugar Low fat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients: 
3/4 cup + 3 T + 1 t  Whole Wheat Flour (100% wheat)
1/3 t Cloves
1/3 t Cinnamon
1/3 t. Sea Salt
1/2 t Baking Soda
1/8 t. Baking Powder
1/4 cup + 1 T + 1 t Agave ( I used Wholesome Sweeteners Blue Organic Agave)
2 T + 2 t Unsweetened Applesauce (Motts Natural)
1 T + 1 t Unsweetened Almond Milk
3/4 cup Pumpkin (I used Libby's) (-Not pie filling)
1 Egg
5 T Ghiradelli 60% Cacao chocolate chips (break each chip into 3-4 pieces) (note: this chocolate has some refined sugar in it but it makes each mini muffin have 1 g of refined sugar so its still lower)

Use 2 bowls combine the dry ingredients in one bowl minus the chips.  In 2nd bowl combine the wet ingredients with whisk. Combine bowl 1 and 2, careful not to mix too much but be sure to incorporate evenly.  Cut up the 5 T of chocolate chips into smaller pieces about 3-4 pieces per chip. Add chips to batter.   Grease mini muffin tin with Pam spray.  Put about 3/4 -1 T in each hole can add more later if extra. Bake at 350 for about 15-17 min.  Makes 24 mini muffins.  Enjoy!

Each muffin is approximately: 50 calories and only 1.5 grams of fat

I hope you like these I revamped one of my mom's recipes to make it healthier and this is what I came up with.  I am happy with the results. And my kids loved them too!!!
