Chocolate bran muffins

Ok boys and girls, this recipe was a special request from my boyfriend.  He loves chocolate and high fiber food.  I purposely did not make these very sweet.  Too sweet things sit on my counter until someone throws it away.  I think the chocolate chips are yummy blast of sweetness. If you want sweeter muffins you can add another tablespoon or two of agave but each tablespoon adds 1.2 grams of sugar.


1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. bran
1 T. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 T. cocoa powder
1 c. plain soy milk
3 T. ground flax seed
3/4 c. water
2 T. agave nectar
1 oz (by weight, not volume.) dark chocolate chips

Prepare 12 spots in a cupcake pan, preferably with cupcake papers but grease them if you don't have them.  Turn on the oven at 350˚.
Throw everything but the chocolate chips in a mixer.  Let it mix for about 3 minutes, if you're doing it by hand, mix it until your arm gets sore.  Mix in the chocolate chips.  Scoop it into your prepared cupcake pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Let them cool a bit then enjoy!
