Thank you so very much for bringing the error to my attention. I greatly apologize for the mistake, and appreciate you making me aware of it. I have also gone back and double checked all of the recipes on the site that include chocolate chips, to make sure that I did not make the same mistake! Thank you again, Shannon Jessica,

I think that in your calculation, you only accounted for 1 serving (2 Tbsp) of chocolate chips, rather than the amount called for in the recipe, 1/2 cup. So that would be about 450 calories in 1/2 cup, rather than 70 (I think... haha). Shannon,

Also, most supermarket eggs have about 70-80 calories each, I get mine from the farmer's market, and they contain 65 calories each. But even with all of those factors, I don't see how the numbers could be so different. Here is my calories info for these muffins (taken right from the back of the package, or nutritiondata.com): pastry flour: 600 cal all purpose flour: 200 cal sugar: 180 cal canola oil: 240 cal eggs: 130 cal applesauce: 100 cal cocoa powder: 30 cal zucchini (by weight): 48 cal chocolate chips: 70 cal which adds up to 1598 calories, divided by 6 = 265 calories per muffin. Jessica,

Is there any specific brands of ingredients I should be using? I can't figure out what would account for the discrepancy.

I will be making it this week, I'm sure. I have been making a chocolate zucchini loaf that is fairly low-fat, but the recipe doesn't use banana and calls for way more sugar... I am really looking forward to trying this one out very soon. (I can use up a few of my many frozen bananas as well as my zucchini -- great news.) Thank you again. Thank you for this recipe!
