Brownie Muffins
By: Andi of Longmeadow Farm
Jan 23, 2008
Longmeadow Farm is trying something new. I feel inspired to make a nice warm treat, one that is a little less caloric but still captures that down on the farm taste. This recipe was adapted from a blog "Culinary Adventures" and since I had some canned pumpkin in the old pantry, I considered, and pondered and thought what the heck! After all, I don't need to be looking like one of our beautiful cows, "Flossy" as she is about ready to calve. And besides, it would be nice to fit into a smaller size overalls for the farm chores. Please note, my oven bakes these in exactly 15 minutes. I also have a pizza stone that stays put in the oven all the time, and radiates the heat a bit more. However; you may have to adjust baking times up or down depending on the accuracy of your oven. Most people are stating the 18 minute mark. I use the toothpick method of sticking it in the middle of the muffin to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, then your in business. Also note: I make these now for my vegan son, using a cake mix that is only soy and wheat based and a special dark chocolate that does not contain any dairy or eggs as well. For fun and frolic, I give em' a boost of sprinkled powdered sugar on the top.

This recipe is great! I am always looking for lighter versions of my favorite naughty indulgences. These were just as delicious as the real thing without all of the added fat! I didn't have pumpkin, so I used a can of sweet potato puree. It worked great, and think of all that Vitamin A and C I just added! Bonus!! Thank you for a wonderful chocolate recioe that I won't feel guilty about.

I set out with great trepidation here and had great success. Our packet mixes seem to be smaller here - mine was 340 grams - so reduced pumpkin accordingly with a very good result.Moist, dense, lovely colour too and not a hint of pumpkin flavour so good for unsuspecting kids !! They will be in the lunch boxes this week !

These are really good and a great way to have a light dessert. I believe they are only 1-2 Weight Watchers points when made into mini-muffins. These are very chocolaty and it's hard to believe they are light! I have also made these with a spice cake mix, pumpkin pie filling and some raisins. A great treat!
