Light Chocolate Chip Muffins

I love munchkin doughnuts from Dunkin’ Donuts (who doesn’t, if you’re familiar with the chain, doughnut holes for those that don’t).  I especially love the ones covered with powdered sugar.  Shocker, I know.  For those of you who know me or have read other posts of mine, I’m kind of obsessed with powdered sugar.     😉  While I frequently by Dunkin’ coffee, I rarely treat myself to their doughnuts.  They are mad tasty but they are not a friend to my …
