Kelly, you mention an egg in the instructions, but there is no egg in the list of ingredients, can you please verify the correct amounts?

Our WW leader handed this recipe out at our meeing on Friday. I just made a batch and they are good - taste like big brownies!

Points
6 - 1 cup whole wheat flour
0 - 2 tsp. baking powder
0 - 1 tsp. baking soda
2 - 2 cups "Kashi Good Friends" cereal
2 - 1-1/4 cup 1% or skim milk
3 - 1/4 cup sugar
0 - 3 packets Sweet & Low **
1 - 1/3 cup baking cocoa
1 - 3 egg whites or 1/4 c. egg substitute
.5 - 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
0 - 1/2 cup canned pumpkin or grated zucchini)***
4 - 4 Tbsp. chocolate chips
19.5 Total

Heat oven to 400.

Mix in one bowl - cereal (crush as much as possible), milk, sugar, sweet&low, egg whites, applesause and pumpkin. Let stand 5 mins. or more.

In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Add cocoa to cereal mixture. Mix well. Add flour mixture and chocolate chips until mixed.

Spray 14 muffin tins with Pam. Fill 2/3 full. Bake 20 minutes or until done.

Freezes well.

**I did not use the Sweet & Low - used 3 pkgs. of Sugar In the Raw instead.
*** Used the shredded zucchini.

I don't like artificial sweeteners, but if you do, the Sweet & Low would probably make these sweeter tasting. I really liked them without it - the Sugar in the Raw is zero points (for one serving - but 3 divided by 14 is still probably zero).

If you like chocolate, these are worth the effort!

I tried the recipe this weekend, and it was wonderful. I used the pumpkin instead of the zucchini. Thank you!

I would love to try these muffins but unfortunately I live in Nova Scotia Canada and we don't have brand of cereal. Could you possibly give me the nutritional info on it and what type of ingredients are in it so I could perhaps find one similar in my grocery store, if it isn't too much trouble. I would greatly appreciate it because muffins are my all time favorite breakfast item and there just aren't any that I have tried that I like for the low points. Most are dry and not taste and to me it isn't worth eating even if they are only 2pts. Hope you can help.

You can find the nutritional information on the Kashi Cereal at: http://www.kashi.com/togoodfriends.html

Why thank you so much, I'll check it out now.

Mary: I live in Canada also. I've found that Kellogg's All Bran Buds are about the same nutritionally as the Kashi. I use it in the muffins I make.

Pulling up!!

I make these with Sweet & Low Brown Sugar
instead of regular Sweet & Low! It makes
a yummy difference!

The kashi choc chip muffins are wonderful and well worth the effort. Just made a batcha and I cannot believe how filling they are. I had just bought 4 boxes of Kashi cereal and this recipe is terrific. Great chocolate fix. Does anyone have any other 1 point recipes with or without Kashi cereal? I am looking for a ww one that used apple butter in it. Thanks [email protected]

I used mini chocolate chips. So you get chips in every bite.Yummmmmm

I made these today. No way was all this going to fit into 14 muffin cups though. I ended up with 20 average sized muffins (didn't want it to poof up all over the place).

They were great, the kids loved them. I loved them.

I used Go Lean because that was what I had in the house.

Next time I will definitely use mini chocolate chips, as I think they would be perfect.

Thanks for the recipe!

pulling up for bc

I made these awesome muffins, but I was wondering if anyone had the nutritional info on them. I don't use ww points, so the info would be a big help!

p.s. I'm putting the Master Cook software on my christmas list!
