  A good tasty treat. You can't tell that they are low fat. I may increase the cocoa next time.

  I make these fairly and they go down a treat, to make things easier i use chocholate chips, they dont need the full 25 minutes, just until lightly golden.

  I have made these a few times now and think they are great; having tried to shed the extra stone I am carrying recipes like these have certainly helped feel as though I am still getting a treat without all the calories and fat. The next time I make them I am going to add the cranberries just before the chocolate as they tend to get a bit coated in flour, etc making me mix the whole thing rather more than muffins really like. PS - I only have 4 more pounds to hit the 1 stone loss....

  I found these muffins quite dry and they could've done with more sugar and/or chocolate as they were not quite sweet enough! Next time I will increase these ingredients as the recipe was actually quite nice. I included orange zest and a bit of juice too but it didn't really come through so will add more next time!

  I made them this week, I doubled the recipe and thought they were lovely. All my guests enjoyed them and found them to be sweet enough, not low fat tasting at all!

  hmmm. I wonder what they'd be like with dried raspberries instead of dried cranberries. I'm not a fan of cranberries.

  these were too dense and rubbery, and I can usually make nice fluffy muffins. I think that the yogurt drags them down, my usual recipe just uses all milk (skimmed works fine) and the same amount of sugar, oil and eggs so no I won't be making these again.

  Absolutely gorgeous, except i didn't have any chocolate or low fat yoghurt, so i skipped the chocolate and added raspberry fromage frais instead of the yoghurt.

  I used 70% cocoa powder and creme fraiche instead of yoghurt, and found they were actually quite tasty. Saying that however, they were a bit heavy but quite filling for the amount of calories they contain.

  Made these for the first time this evening and thought they were delicious! I will use dark choc chips next time and add some orange zest perhaps but I thought they were lovely and light and will definitely remake them.
