   I can't wait to try this. I love baking, but always try to find a way to make it healthier.
2. Jessica@AKitchenAddiction says:

   I think I need a couple of these right now!
3. Elizabeth/Lindy says:

   Would a cup of plain sugar be fine too? (obviously it would up the calories) I've yet to find an artificial sweetener that doesn't give me a migraine, but otherwise these look awesome!
4. Unknown says:

   Sounds great and oh so tempting...if only I wasn't allergic to yogurt.

   For big size muffins? That is wonderful! All the recipes for low cal ones are always with small muffins. So this is awesome! Thanks!
6. Karie @ The HoB says:

10. TheHappyCrafter says:

    I tried these and they did not rise?
11. Six Sisters says:

    I think that would work just fine! :)
12. Megan says:

    Definitely making these! I can never control my sweet tooth. And I'm trying desperately to limit my calorie intake...They look delicious. what sugar substitute do you use?
13. Six Sisters says:

    Hi Megan! I used Splenda. Hope you like them!
14. Megan says:

    ok, now I went back to look at the recipe and see that in parentheses... I feel a little foolish. Thanks for answering anyway!
15. Brooke says:

    Any idea if these freeze well?
16. Six Sisters says:

    Hi Brooke!
    
    I actually put our leftovers in a large Ziploc freezer bag and they were great! We would microwave them for a few seconds when we took them out and they tasted just as great as they did fresh!
17. Katy Mae says:

    Did you ever figure out why? Same thing just happened to me...
18. nurazura says:

    Hi there. I just took my muffins out of the oven, but they don't look anything like yours. I followed all the ingredients and directions exactly.
19. nurazura says:

    And me!
20. Six Sisters says:

    Hi!
    
    I am so sorry they didn't turn out. I am not sure what went wrong. If you followed the directions, it may have something to do with elevation? Sorry I'm not more help!
21. Ramona M says:

    love!
22. brittni young says:

    i just made these and they did not rise at all.. i dont see how they could look like the pic unless you put three servings in the muffin cup.. my husband like the taste they have a very strong dark chocolate taste so if you dont like dark chocolate you wont like them. i was really hoping these would be a good chocolate choice for me.
23. brittni young says:

    same here i was not very happy with they way they came out
    
24. LoveMonkey says:

    I made these with the amount of stevia listed in the recipe and they were terrible. You do not need that much stevia at all. I'd say just make them to taste with the stevia.
25. Rosemary Nardone says:

    These did not work for me either Seems any of these recipes where you have no flour do not work right.
26. Tirzah D says:

    I made these today and tried just a tiny part of one, and I enjoyed it! I will eat one of these tomorrow for my afternoon snack for sure!! Thanks :D
27. akanered says:

    how much do the ground oats turn to?
28. Six Sisters says:

    Ground the oats until smooth, no chunks.
29. Amandie says:

    Yup, I would do the dry ingredients first in then blend/process until fine like flour. This way, it wouldn't be too overmixed with the wet stuff while trying to break up the oats. Perhaps that is why it did not rise at all for some of you? Just an idea.
    
    I made half regular size (12) and the other half mini-muffins (24) and they all rose to the top and a little beyond with no problems. My picky niece and boyfriend actually liked it. She admitted it was different but still gobbled it up nonetheless.
    
    Thank you soo much! So delicious.
30. Chrissy says:

    Are they one or two points plus per muffin? I couldn't find the nutritional value, but I know you said the calories were 58
31. Clomundaa says:

    Mentioned these in my blog! Made 'em, and fell in love, thank you so much!
32. Angela says:

    I have made these two or three times per month for probably a year now, and this is one of my family's favorites. I use milk instead of water and only 1/2 cup of splenda. I always mix up the oats in the food processor before I add the other ingredients, and I think this helps them to rise better. I have recently realized that it works super well to use almond flour instead of oat flour, and the almond flour makes them lower carb and taste even better!
33. Emily says:

    I made these in a mini muffin tin using a mix of stevia and real sugar (to taste), left out the vinegar/cream of tarter and vanilla and used a healthy sprinkling of Enjoy Life chocolate chips (dairy free). I made the substitutions because I was working with what I had at the time. They rose perfectly and are super fluffy. They are a delicious treat!
34. Tammy Campbell says:

    I was skeptical because of how runny the batter was but they turned out pretty well! The are very rich but I like that sort of thing, especially with a tall glass of milk!
35. walla says:

    does anybody know how many grams of fiber this has
36. Leilani says:

    I made these and we all loved them, even my husband who claims he "doesn't like chocolate muffins" has been eating them! Thank you for the recipe! I wound up freezing the extras that we didn't eat immediately and I just microwave one for 30 seconds and its perfect! Making these again this week!
37. Vicki says:

    After a few less than desireable batches of these muffins I went about it slightly different. I knew that these ingredients all put together would be great... I just wanted them to look fabulous, also. I started to beat egg whites by themselves, first, before adding any of the other wet ingredients. Cream of tartar is in recipe for that reason... to keep egg whites fluffy. I then add in all other wet ingredients. I only fold in dry ingredients. Never mix any muffin batter any more than to just "wet". Viola!! Perfect every time since! I get rave reviews on these muffins!
38. Emily says:

    These are dashing Dish's muffins
39. Cyd says:

    We adapted this from Health Is Always Better. We gave them credit on the post.
40. Sarah says:

    Mine didn't rise the first time either. Thought it might have been the elevation, but nope! Turns out my baking soda was bad so I switched it out and the recipe worked like a charm.
41. DeAndra says:

    Just made these today and I love them!! They are delicious and chocolatey, and I can't believe they have so few calories, fat, and sugar!
42. Siena says:

    These were soooo disgusting!! I was so disapointed when I tasted them, because they literally tasted like nothing!! Except for the chocolate chips, because chocolate chips are amazing. But seriously, don't waste your time with these.
43. Julie Batchelor says:

    These came out perfect. Delicious and moist. I ground the oatmeal to a fine powder before adding in the rest. 1/4 C batter per muffin, 20 minutes. Thank you!
44. Mrs. Panem says:

    All went well! So goooood! mine looks like the photo! ?
45. MRS.PANEM says:

    OMG, this is truly awesooooooome! I made this a few weeks ago and it turned out sooooooo well that I already baked this lots of times! It's part of my weekly food plan too! Thank you so much for this low calorie and yet so delicious and amazing recipe!
46. Cheryl Wilson says:

    I’m not seeing a link?
47. Kj says:

    These are delicious! Made 18 total and used 1/2 cup turbinado sugar as didn’t have artificial sweetener. Yes the calories are more but I figure about 120 calls. Still a win!
48. Catherine M says:

    The recipe says each muffin is 58 calories. How many fat grams are in each muffin? Can't wait to try! Thanks!
49. Sheila says:

    Can these be made with Trivia instead of Splenda?
50. Steph @ Six Sisters says:

    We haven't tried it, but where it's a similar substitution, it should work okay!
