Chocolate Chip Muffins

I found this recipe in my Cooking Light Magazine.  Each one of these muffins has only 191 calories.  I may add a little cayenne to the recipe for some extra kick.  I love the way cayenne tastes with chocolate.

1 3/4 C. all purpose flour
1/2 C. packed brown sugar
1/4 C. unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 C. warm water
1/4 C. canola oil
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 C. semi sweet mini chips, divided
Cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.  Make a well in the center of the mixture.  Combine 1 C. water and next 4 ingredients (through egg) in a bowl, stirring with a whisk.  Stir in 1/4 C. mini chips.  Add oil mixture to flour mixture, stirring until just moist.

Place 12 muffin cup liners in muffin cups and coat liners with cooking spray.  Divide batter evely among prepared muffin cups.  Spinkle remaining chips evenly over batter.  Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in pan on wire rack.
