Weight Watchers: 5 ProPoints | PointsPlus for a BREAKFAST muffin?! I’m IN! Perfect point-age! OR! You could split the batter into TWO muffins for 2 ProPoints | PointsPlus EACH. But really, would you share this amazing muffin? Hmm.
Wee. That’s my excuse anyway. I love single serve recipes. I can’t be trusted with a whole tray of anything. I know. The shame. But I am human! And when it comes to cake, what is self control? Because I seem to be lacking in that department.

This is so great! I made mine with carob chips because I’m not allowed to eat chocolate. So yummy! Thanks for a fabulous treat. I’m making it again this morning.
