Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl. Stir in the sugar and cranberries. Microwave the chocolate on Medium for 1-1½ mins, stir, then set aside.
  2. Mix the yogurt and milk with the oil and egg. Make a well in centre of the dry mix and gently stir in the liquid. Drizzle half the chocolate over the mix, gently fold in until swirled, then repeat with the remaining chocolate. Take care not to over-mix. Spoon the mix into the muffin cases and bake for 15-20 mins until risen and firm to the touch.

    I used choc chips but otherwise made as per the recipe. The muffins were OK but no more than that - they stuck to the cases and were rather heavy. I pointed these as 5 pro-points each for anyone doing weight watchers!

    Disappointingly bland. Would need to ramp up the chocolate content to make them enjoyable, but this would no doubt remove the 'skinny' bit from the title. Shame.

    This means chocolate cake could be back on the agenda! Good quality chocolate powder is a wonderful investment too. Thank you and VERY much appreciated!
