Notes:
Used the blueberry cupcakes as a base, and played around with the liquids. This gave a nice light chocolate flavor. I liked it because the crumb is fluffy, so a light chocolate felt better than heavy/rich chocolate notes. You can try adding more cocoa powder or chocolate chips if you prefer more chocolate. Store at room temperature up to 2 days (if they even last that long), or you can keep in the fridge. I actually had them out for about 4 days, and they were fine.

  1. This was so incredibly delicious!! I didn't have any chocolate chips on hand, so I doubled the cocoa powder (I used cacao) and it was perfectly chocolatey. It was good out of the oven, but the next day was even better - so soft and moist. I'd never think this was low carb if I didn't make it myself. Thank you so much for publishing your recipes.
