DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES 
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. unsweetened orange juice
1/3 c. water
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. semi-sweet chocolate miniature morsels
1 tsp. powdered sugar

Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Combine orange juice, water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Fold in chocolate morsels. Spoon into foil or paper-lined muffin pans, filling 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Yields: 1 dozen, about 153 calories each.

NOTE: Chocolate doesn't have to be banned from healthy eating. Using unsweetened cocoa instead of chocolate products made with cocoa butter is one way to trim saturated fat without sacrificing flavor. To do the cocoa-for- chocolate switch, substitute 3 tablespoons cocoa plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for 1 oz. square unsweetened chocolate.
