These cocoa muffins may be low-fat, but they certainly aren't missing anything when it comes to flavor and texture.

Cocoa Lowfat Muffins

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup vanilla lowfat yogurt
2/3 cup lowfat or nonfat milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar (optional)

2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, milk and vanilla; add to dry ingredients and mix in just until combined. Do not over mix.
4. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.
5. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan on wire rack. Remove from pans.
