You must be thinking that I must be out of my mind to post the same recipe twice. Well I must admit that I have become very fond of the chocolate and orange flavour. Moreover, it becomes even more irresistible if the already tasty muffin fat free and tad healthier. Now you can't blame me for posting this again. Can you?
I found this recipe on epicurious.com when I was looking for some muffin recipes. I jotted down the recipe immediately and made a few changes to make it eggless and baked this yesterday. The preparation time took a little longer as I made the apple sauce from the scratch. But if you have the apple sauce on hand, then baking this muffin is a breeze
