1 point Chocolate mini-Cupcakes

Last week I said I'd post this recipe - here ya go! Its great for chocolate cravings and only "about" 1 point each. They are actually about 1.4 points each, but I rounded down. My oldest daughter loves them, too, and I've packed them as dessert in her lunch box several times. I froze 1/2 of them, so I wouldn't have the temptation of so many chocolate cupcakes readily at hand.

2-Ingredient Chocolate Pumpkin Mini-Muffins (cupcakes)

makes approximately 36 mini-muffins

Ingredients
1 box of chocolate cake mix
1 15 oz. can of pumpkin puree

Directions
1. Preheat the oven per box instructions. Spray the mini-muffin pan/s with a baker’s spray (baker’s secret or Pam)
2. Combine the cake mix and the pumpkin and beat on medium for 2-3 minutes until well blended and fluffy.
3. Spoon a heaping tablespoon into each well in the mini-muffin pan and bake for about 18-20 minutes.
4. Allow to cool.

You can garnish with powdered sugar or a pecan, but both of those add unneeded calories in my opinion. They are approximately 1 WW point each without any garnish. I believe you can make basically the same recipe with Diet Coke (instead of the pumpkin) if you desire. They are not as dense, if memory serves me.

1 point tortillas

Not much new today - only I've lost that 1 lb I gained on vacation, plus another 1 (so down 2 lbs since Tuesday!), AND I'm in a size smaller pants today! Not all my size 12's fit yet, but this one pair did, so I seized the opportunity and I am wearing those badboys! Yippee!!! Total of 8 lbs lost since Jan. 20th.

And as I mentioned  yesterday - I found some 1 point tortillas at Kroger. They were on the "mexican foods" aisle, with those tortillas, but separated from them. All the way at the bottom, to the right hand size. Hopefully they will have more when I go back! I use them for everything from quesadillas to turkey wraps for lunch. Love!
