Thursday Treat!!

Every Thursday I will be posting a healthy dessert recipe to help curb those cravings for something sweet.  All of my options are what you call "clean" and each serving will be under 200 calories (some will be 100 calories for 2!).   Here is todays recipe:
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Serving Size : 12
Ingredients:

... 3/4 cup Ideal or Stevia
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 egg whites
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour (oatmeal flour, or brown rice flour)
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips (dark choc. if poss)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place paper liners in muffin pan.

2. Mix sugar, unsweetened applesauce and eggs together in a medium bowl. Add pumpkin and water.
In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar,
spices and salt. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and mix just until
combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
