When I say I am making muffins my daughter gets excited until she discovers they are dukan style muffins so we have taken to calling them duffins instead. 
Anyway, I was experimenting yesterday and found found that these chocolate orange duffins came out quite well, they are very moreish.
Not for everyone though as I believe even low fat cocoa is a tolerated item.
I found that using homemade strained slow cooker yoghurt gives a better texture as it is quite thick.
6 tbs oatbran
2 eggs
5 tbs yoghurt (plain pref greek style)
1 tsp orange extract (Sainsburys Valencian Orange)
2 tbs canderel
3 tsp low fat cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
Just mix everything together, pour into muffin mould/cases bake for 12 to 15 mins at 170 degrees.
I use the small muffin size silicone tray which makes 12 muffins so as I am on stab I can have 6 per day, otherwise they make 6 normal sized muffins.
I usually use 3 tbs of canderel when making duffins but as I use 3 tsps of cocoa I cut this down to 2.
I can highly recommend the Sainsburys Orange extract, it does not smell or taste synthetic, smells fantastic and is £1.09 a 38 ml bottle.
It just smells like freshly peeled oranges.
I sometimes also add a tbs of wheat bran for extra roughage but add a bit of extra yoghurt so it isn't too thick.
As you can see there is quite a bit of cocoa powder in this so you would have to adjust this depending on your stage of the diet.
